PRAGUE—Prague city council voted on Oct. 7 to cancel a partnership agreement with Beijing after it failed to remove an article requiring it commit to the “one China” principle, which refers to the Chinese regime’s stance that Taiwan belongs to China.
The city’s leadership, elected last year, says it is non-standard for city-to-city partnerships such as the one signed by the previous administration in 2016, to include diplomatic matters that are up to national governments.
