Jana Volfová, a former Czech Parliament member and statutory vice-chair of the Czech Social Democratic Party, said in her speech that she believes the differences between Europe and China can be seen even in small situations. As an example, she mentioned a moment at the beginning of the meeting when water spilled and the Chinese ambassador, according to her, did not hesitate to get involved in solving the situation. „In China, everyone works and everyone is willing to work,“ řekla.

According to Volfová, it is the willingness to address the problem immediately that shows the different approach, which she sees as one of the main differences between China and Europe. „When something happens and there's a problem, they go to solve it,“ said of the Chinese environment. Czech politicians, on the other hand, often tend to bypass problems and wait for someone else to solve them.

In her speech, she also made a light-hearted reference to the symbolism of strudel, which she believes can bring people together. She admitted that it cannot literally connect China and the Czech Republic, but she said that such meetings help strengthen friendly relations between the two countries. „I'm prepared to bring some strudel to any future meeting,“ poznamenala.

Finally, she thanked the Chinese side for its patience during what she described as a politically difficult period. She also expressed confidence that the conditions for mutual cooperation could be improved. „Our politicians are ephemeral, only China is eternal,“ She said. According to her, there could now be a time when it will be possible to resume normal cooperation on relations between the Czech Republic and China.
