Xi Jinping in Serbia: Why China is Deepening Ties with Eastern Europe | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Published 2024-05-08
Chinese President Xi Jinping received a warm welcome in Serbia today (April 8, 2024). In the second leg of his European trip that has come after a break of five years, President Xi was welcomed by the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, who termed him a "friend". Xi's visit to Serbia coincides with the 25th anniversary of NATO's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. While remembering the incident, Xi said that "we must never forget this". Serbia and China have signed 29 deals today, and decided to implement a free trade pact - which could complicate Europe's efforts to "de-risk" from Chinese supply chains. Belgrade is a strong ally for Beijing, with the country even supporting China's claims on Taiwan. As Xi Jinping nears the end of his European tour, Palki Sharma explains how the Chinese president is exploiting the cracks within the European Union.

China was there for Serbia when it was difficult and Serbs can't forget that, it is very simple. Xi is beloved in Serbia, there is politics but there is also genuine feeling of frendship from Serbia

Serbia has suffered horribly under NATO. EU is economically devastating Serbia. All friends are welcome!
-
No country puts up Indian flag this way shows how deep the relationship is with China
-
Calm down Palki. Xi is in France just reciprocating Macron visit to China last year. Xi has no intention to replace India #1 global status.

Serbia is a nice country that has suffered a lot in the hand of NATO. China where he goes builds schools and hospitals. China Respect countries sovereignty and Chairman Xi is humble. China doesn’t bomb countries.China bring prosperity and fair business for all.

Last month, Netherlands, Germany and others had state visits in China. This month, China is visiting France, Serbia and Hungary. Next week he’ll see Russia’s Putin in Beijing China for the state visit. Right after, it’s Italy’s turn to pay a visit to China. President Xi of China is a busy man

As an Indian, we support China even though we have little tensions. We are all global south. Time to say no to neo colonilism and modern western slaery which specifically targets BRICS and other Asian, African , pacific and south american countries
-
This is simple and pure friendship, as is the relationship with Russia. Serbian folk's are loyal and long memoried.❤
-
Palki, stop being jealous. Europe has always been divided between West and East. China will develop Eastern Europe now 😂😂😂.
-
China is sincere in helping those that need assistance. Balgrad was deprived of covid vaccine during the pandemic from EU and USA... China even with its huge population, came forward to provide free covid vaccine for Serbia, and no one can blame them for returning their gratefulness to China.... The teaching of Confucianism. ❤❤❤❤
-
China's diplomacy has always been based on economic cooperation and deepening relations, while the United States' diplomacy has always been aimed at suppressing sanctions and even war. You can see that the two superpowers have completely different modes of doing things
-
Palki, are you jealous? India is Billy no mate. Why dont India join forces with China to promote Asia? Instead of bad mouthing everything about China.

I love Serbia, birthplace of Nikola Tesla my idol.
