BEIJING/PRAGUE (Reuters) - China hit back on Wednesday at a decision by the Prague city council to cancel a partnership agreement with Beijing that would have required it to commit to the "one China" principle affirming that Taiwan is a part of China.

Czech President Milos Zeman has pushed ties with China, but the capital's government has figured in diplomatic rows between the two nations, such as one over the mayor's refusal of a Chinese demand to eject a Taiwan official from a conference.
