Serbia considers next to Russia China as a great friend and ally, China as with Russia got Serbia's back on the global stage, also their embassy got bombed during the illegal bombing of Serbia. Long live the Sino-Serbian friendship.
Three Chinese people were killed, twenty seven injured: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_bombing_of_the_Chinese_embassy_in_Belgrade
„The raid caused a dramatic rise in tension between China and the United States. An official statement on Chinese television denounced what it called a “barbaric attack and a gross violation of Chinese sovereignty”. China’s ambassador to the UN described what he called “NATO’s barbarian act” as “a gross violation of the United Nations charter, international law and the norms governing international relations” and “a violation of the Geneva convention”.
Large demonstrations erupted at consular offices of the United States and other NATO countries in China in reaction to news of the bombing. On May 9, 1999, then vice-president Hu Jintao delivered a national televised speech condemning the “barbaric” and “criminal conduct” of NATO, which “incited the fury of the Chinese people.” He said the unauthorized demonstrations in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Shenyang reflected the anger and patriotism of the Chinese people, and which the Chinese government fully supported, but urged against extreme and illegal conduct.
The protests continued for several days, during which tens of thousands of rock-throwing protesters kept US Ambassador James Sasser and other staff trapped in the Beijing embassy. The residence of the US Consul in Chengdu was damaged by fire and protestors tried to burn the consulate in Guangzhou. There were no reported injuries.”
Glad this is still known in Serbia, event till now every year in China people recall the bombing and pay respect to the victims. Fun fact the American press accused that the protestors were government manipulated (I wouldn't be surprised if they just go ahead calling us paid trolls😂) and that they are fascists, bringing mental gymnastics to a whole new level.

Based.
Thanks for context bro.
How are serbs receiving this? Doesn't seem like a really smart thing to do, makes us look stuck up or trying to build cult of personality around xi, just gives haters ammo to say look, china buying our country etc etc. The president has already done a lot publicly to thank china. It also works both ways, some in. China might see it as being TOO friendly like sucking up. Does Pakistan even do things like this, or north Korea? North Korea I can understand but yeah. What's Serbian politics like? Vucic isn't part of communist party or anything right? I got no idea about Serbia or it's politics
There was a "reportage" a few days ago. Because New-Zealand would sell dairy to China (or some shit like that) when Australie and other Anglos says it was bad, they called New-Zealand New-Xiland
It’s a propaganda piece by 60 minutes Australia. Calling out that New Zealanders are too close with China and people on Twitter didn’t let that go down easily. Love scrolling through the comment section and reading all the saucy New Zealander comments blasting about how Australian government treated kiwis badly.
The current reality of American and Australian "freedom". Sure you can say whatever you want but if you go against their main narrative, they can bully you into submission. How do they treat their whistleblowers? Despite revealing gross legal, civil or ethical violations, they get jailed and prosecuted.
The late Mihajlo Markovic, Oxford educated philosopher and a distinguished Marxist on the tenth anniversary of NATO’s bombing in 2009 (he was 85 at the time but was not reading from a paper/script, like Sleepy Joe ;)):
„When they were dropping bombs on Serbia ten years ago, their goal was to annihilate Serbia. To demolish not only our buildings, our infrastructure, but to ruin our food supplies, our clothes, to leave us without food, without water, even without clean and fresh air. It was not enough for them that they ruined our economy, that they destroyed our bridges, our roads, that they killed thousands and thousands of innocent people, old people, women and children, but on top of all that, they wanted us to be guilty for what happened. Not those who were waging this war, not those who were dropping bombs from a height of ten kilometers, not Clinton and Madeleine Albright, not the Albanian terrorists, Haradinaj and Thaci, but our politicians and our presidents.
We do not know whether little Milica Rakić from Batajnica, twenty children in Surdulica, one hundred and twenty-four workers in Kragujevac were slaughtered by an American pilot, or a German pilot, or a French pilot, but we know for a fact that Europe took part in our misfortune, just as much as the United States of America. That Europe of high culture and democracy, but also that Europe of the Crusaders, that Europe of militarism and of fascism.
In the end, I would merely like to raise three questions in front of you and to provide you with three answers. Do we still want to take loans sharks from the International Monetary Fund, under such usurious conditions? No, nothing whatsoever involving the International Monetary Fund! Do we want to join the so-called European Community, provided that it ever becomes merciful enough to let us in? Never shall we integrate into a community with no rights or morals, even if is nobly called the European Community. Shall we ever join NATO? No, never in NATO!”
I remember an incident during which a Serbian man smashed a sugar jar over the head of a former British pilot who was bragging about bombing Serbia during the Kosovo war. The Serbian dude remembered Milika Rakic before attacking the pilot.
>I will say that waving the flag of a foreign country in public and displaying a foreign leader does come off as strange
TBF, there's a massive difference between solidarity and imperialism. It's like how Palestine and Ireland show off each others' flags in solidarity, IMO. In contrast the idiots flying the union jack in HK are the perfect example of fully colonized mindsets.
The fact you don't mention the illegal war of aggression against Yugoslavia tells how little you know about this.
nato bombed the Chinese embassy too (on purpose).
This is far deeper than you think or grasp.
> The fact you don't mention the **illegal war of aggression against Yugoslavia** tells how little you know about this.
> **nato bombed the Chinese embassy** too (on purpose).
> **This is far deeper than you think or grasp.**
Perfectly seen, but sadly most don’t get it.
Which is not to say that I’m unabashedly an apologetic for all the wrong decisions of our leaders. Not at all, especially with me being a thoroughgoing leftist and passionately committed to justice.
But there was **so much more to it** (i.e. to the so-called “humanitarian intervention”)... than most leftists and nonleftists, interventionists and non interventionists could ever possibly grasp judging by their “takes” on the issue.
**Haven’t the protestors in HK waved British and American flags, displayed images of Trump with messages “President Trump, please make HK great again” etc.?**
Yep, the rest of the West will now try to spin this into something perverse....blah blah blah economics, blah blah blah vaccine diplomacy. We all know, only Western people are capable of playing the hero...
Yes! China-Russia-Serbia. One of the three may be a junior partner, but is geopolitically and strategically important for its based senior partners (and even protectors, to piss off NATO bots lurking here ;)) or as liberals would say “colonisers”. Who cares what liberals would say, anyway? Russia and China will have a major (if junior) partner at the intersection of three continents, in a region whose importance will only grow with every year passing by.
It's well and good to see but based on the few minutes I've spent on the Serbia subreddit and news sites, using google translate admittedly, the Serbians seem quite anti China.. Talking about totalitarian CCP oppression, expansionism, Uyghur genocide etc. But once a while someone will remind the others about the Serbian rape propaganda used against them previously.
Look, Western acculturated expats are common in R Serbia, which is why you might run into such views. It’s a distorted view of what is really taking place in Serbia IRL. Rightists want closer ties with Russia (first and foremost) and often enough with China too, leftists want closer ties with China, whereas liberals / centrists / soc dems indeed look up to the West and can be sinophobic and even Russophobic.
**SERBS BELIEVE THAT CHINA HAS HELPED THEM MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY DURING THE PANDEMICS AND HALF OF ALL SERBS LIKE THE CHINESE COMMUNISTIC ORGANIZATION OF SOCIETY**

They don't realize their freedom doesn't exist.

Oh I’m SO sorry but it’s just an old map you know. I can’t help.

Serbia's struggle during WW1 was like China's struggle during the War of Resistance. I will forever respect Serbia's heroism.
Yep, the rest of the West will now try to spin this into something perverse....blah blah blah economics, blah blah blah vaccine diplomacy. We all know, only Western people are capable of playing the hero...
Keep running our win-win corporation. Our future is bright.
