The emergence of French Center for Research on Contemporary China (CEFC) in 1992, one of the 27 overseas research centers under the direction of French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, shows that the French government is eager to understand contemporary China. Because of the location of CEFC, it can provide a headquarter for researchers from France or European countries to spread their research activities and forms a local academic network, then let them exchange ideas with others. Then a new way of China studies with diversity in the research issues, methods and fields takes shape. This research introduces the history of CEFC and the distinguished features of its periodical ¡§China Perspectives¡¨ through the information from some manuscripts of interviews and the researches of the former director Jean-Pierre Cabestan as a representative to show the character of researches of CEFC. Comparing to some China studies in other dominant countries, e.g. USA, Japan and other European countries, CEFC evokes a Vulnerable China Studies that means a softer and more flexible way. Every researcher through CEFC can use their own way to go into China, discuss China and understand the latest changes in China. Then they can shape the characteristic research approach that differs from the past.

This thesis wants to analyze the media service of the Empresa Media group during the three-day visit of chinese president Xi Jinping in the Czech Republic in march of 2016. At that time 49 percent share of Empresa Media was owned by chinese company CEFC. The visit was covered with a very high importance in all of the czech media. And not only in connection with the official schedule. Series of demonstration took place in Prague and also some fights occured between supporters of the chinese presindent and his opponents. However, media of the Empresa Media group almost without any exception ignored these events. Any manifestations of disagreement with the finese presindent's visit or China's politics is missing from its coverage. It results from analyzing magazine Tyden, its online version Tyden.cz, evening news of TV Barrandov and online coverage provided by Tyden.cz. This fact stands out even more when compared to some other important czech media.
