- Опубликовано: 7 май 2024
- Chinese President Xi Jinping is visiting Serbia for the second time in less than ten years. Along with Budapest and Paris, Belgrade is one of the stops on the Chinese president's European tour. China has invested billions of euros in mining and manufacturing in Serbia - and Xi's visit is being seen as an opportunity to deepen political and economic ties between the two nations. What is China and Serbia's "steel friendship" based on?

DW and German "journalist" are concerned about Serbia's security and its interest.... your hypocrisy has no bounds....
They worry their NGOs fund exposed
@@happymelon7129True!
Why hypocrisy?
@@andymcrae4661 check NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, think Serbians will always remember it, and we Chinese will never forget it either.
@@davecccI as a Serb will never forget it, but i also will never forgive them. To forgive is to forget.
Long live Chinese-Serbian friendship.
Da Comrades!!! Borat very approves.
Duh
Braha Serbije Kine Braha!! Braha!!!!
😂
Let’s trade snow ok 😂
They were both bullied by NATO and currently facing same separatists backed by United States, how would you expect them to behave?
Yes. Bullied by NATO so that they can no longer commit genocide without consequences...🤮
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh poor baby
wtf are you talking about? Where or when did NATO ever bully China? Are you of your meds?
lol Nato literally saved China from Japan. what are you talking about?
Long live Chinese-Serbian friendship. Greetings from oversea Chinese.
west needs to change their mentality towards smaller nations , start treating them as equal partners and not see them as colonies
Never Say NEVER 😎 Justin Bieber
China bullying small nations like Taiwan and Philippines 🤡
Look at map.... Europe and the "west" is made up of many small countries. All are treated equally. Far more equally than when China and Russia get involved.... many countries in Africa have sold their souls with only a few corrupt politicians lining their pockets. The only ones who push for China and Russia models are those countries with political leadership who would also also like to become more authoritarian and/or dictatorships.
Serbia as a new colony to the Sino-Russo colonizers is looking very good. You better get to work before a Chinese counterpart is replacing you.
I agree
Serbia the only country in Europe with spine
And Hungary
And Belarus
Oh that's like, beyond satire right??
@@Mateg-M246 its more like reality😁
Serbia is so lucky to have such a great leader. Long live China-Serbia friendship. Love from China Hong Kong.
Ahh, the art of sarcasm and irony!
@EspenAas-br8bg A very straight forward sentence, Serbia does have a great leader who knows what's best for his country and people. Where is the sarcasm and irony please?
Thanks
@@weasel6660 Sorry, I thought you were joking. So, "Serbia does have a great leader who knows what's best for his country and people"? That's not how we talk about leaders in a democracy. We discuss and argue back and fourth. Maybe it's true that Serbia is moving towards authoritarianism?
@@EspenAas-br8bg my guess is that you wouldn't be able to find Serbia on the map, so your opinion about this matter really has no weight
We should seek BRICS membership, instead of EU.
BRICS is not demanding from us to renounce our territory and history.
Tell me how many countries had to renounce its land to join EU?
I think that is a great idea. BRICS has far better prospects and brighter future. Except for the nearer location to EU and maybe more similar skin tone, religion or culture there is nothing that great to join EU.
A few countries had to rush to conclude border agreements before 2004 enlargement. EU wants border to be fixed at de facto status.
BRICS is about co-operation. EU is about imperiaIism. At least imo.
@@TD1237 Yes and also part of the US tools.
Where does it state that Serbia needs to recognise Kosovo to join the EU?
Xi appears, calm, humble, lot of power, yet no arrogance in display. Its inspiring.
中国的文化是沉稳,不怒自威,轻佻是不成熟的表现
You can compare the scene of US President Trump receiving Serbian President at the White House, and then compare the scene of China receiving any small country in the world. Regardless of the size and status of the country, treating each other with courtesy is a tradition in China.
China seems much more reliable and easier to make fair agreements for small states, unlike the EU and US talking sweet but acting brutal if you don't belong to the 'inner circle'.
Slava TSMC 🇹🇼
To belong to the inner circle, you must be their vassal state.
Yeah…
Serbia will not have to say much when China flips the bill. On the other hand, the EU should be relieved from taking in another lazy country which doesn't pull it's wait and only wants hand outs. This was the primary reason why former Yugoslav states had enough from Serbia the moocher.
@@rambleon2838I'd like to remind u , Switzerland, Sweden etc. r forced to be on one side. Well, Serbia being independant State is not. Showing enough, even to blinds. Ofc, Serbia is well known of their Independant status. In my opinion, the best possible move by Serbia in this geopolitical playground. Well done Serbia!
China is helping Serbia a lot,
Since 2016, with substantial support from China, Serbia has embarked on extensive infrastructure development, building hundreds of kilometers of highways, the *fastest* railway in Eastern Europe, and renewing energy facilities.
HUNGARY: Please hold our Goulash and Paprika 🥑🇨🇳
Have you ever wondered why China is "helping" Serbia?
It is a win-win situation. In China, there is a famous saying that "If you want to be rich, build roads first". We believe that more people linked and powered by these infrastructure, more people will be rich and then the bigger the global market size for Chinese products.
@@Takeawayking971 20,000 jobs would have gone had Serbia lost their steel industry
@@Takeawayking971 No, civilians here in South Africa have only been benefitting since we've become closer with China. More employment opportunities.
We never discriminate based on the size of a country. Serbia is obviously our true friend, a good friend. Oh! By the way, Serbian President, you are really famous in Chinese social networks. We all like you very much. Long live the friendship between China and Serbia.❤❤
So, Taiwan isn’t too small to be a country?
@@markushaahr9194 Taiwan is a renegade province of China and is not recognized.
@@GGY-yh6li Taiwan is the national Republic of China and has been independent for over 70 years.
@@markushaahr9194 Taiwan is not recognized by any country in the world or the UN. Their government is in exile and has lost the legitimacy to rule China.There are legal criteria for whether a region is considered an official country. For example, Palestine is not considered a country yet.
@@GGY-yh6li and never will be. But Taiwan is a country in every practical way that it does what it wants to and Chinese laws don’t count there.

Look at Germany, Italy, etc and their economic state. That is the effects and results of blindly following some country while neglecting own country and people. Well done indeed.
Agreed. I'm proud of Serbia for being independent and sensible.
yeah, I guess China will bring occupation troops, attack gas pipelines and force one to follow "Human Rights", mental illnesses rights, or other self made rights they themselves will not follow. Oh, wait. That's USA. 😂😂😂
That's what happens when Germany is occupied by the 🇺🇸, just like Japan.
@@TD1237 Exactly. Good, smart and visionary leaders work for their country and people unlike some who keeps creating chaos and wars for own selfish gains.
@@timmy-wj2hc Germany is currently the biggest economic powerhouse in Europe. They are more than a glorified gas station "aka" Russia. Japan is also a hugely impactful economic country. All thanks to the USA.
It's so touching to see such heartwarming friendship n sincerity between the two political leaders! May China n Serbia work hand in hand to achieve our dreams of common prosperity n world peace !❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
A friend in need, is a friend indeed.
Just listen to what he said. If Xi make a promisse, he will keep his promise
That means, no lipservice.
It's what the whole Global South is also saying. Just listen and do not judge right away.
As I said in another comment, China has done a lot for Africa. The EU and US has been expIoiting the continent and still is. But China has been a good partner to us in South Africa. The economy's only benefitted from the relationship. And across the continent, they've contributed greatly to healthcare and infrastructure.

West Country (USA, EU and NATO ) :
Brings troops, bombs, weapons and kills.
China (Belt and Road Initiative ) :
Bringing engineers for development, money and a better life.
Very smart country. Instead of foolishly volunteering to fight a proxy war for Western hegemony and getting destroyed as Ukraine currently is, Serbia remains neutral and prospers. The worldwide GDP of the BRICS has surpassed that of the G7. Serbia is wise to want to partner in that growth.
Educate my friend,you're siding with worst country in Europe,worldwide
With biggest corruption
Goverment flooding street with drugs.
And all war crimes they've made.
Yup.
Since u know so much go to serbia,it will amaze u youll be back in 1940
Very well said! Just look at the EU!😂😂😂
BRICS GDP barely passes the U.S.'s GDP. Lies are boring.

G7 is US 26.9, Japan 4.4, Germany 4.3, France 2.9, Italy, UK 3.2, Canada 2.1 totaling 45.9T.

lol
Serbians are a peace loving people, the EU is run by France and Germany who answer to America, what more needs to be said
Prospers?😂😂😂 serbia is like a dictatorship rn
sometimes I am amused by the european, especially the german... sending money for investment is not ok because it is not transperant, but sending weapons and arms to genocide is ok because it is transperant!!! congratulate to your kind of moral standard, which definitely not the kind of moral standard the chinese are being educated!
I sense a pattern with Germany. At least we now know what the G stands for.
Germany is mickey mouse of us
german started all of the world wars ever
Dont forget the West is pushing for Serbian to be declared a genocidal nation in the UN, while the Germans, British, French etc haven't been accused, Israel comes to mind as well. What a JOKE.
China never forgets such minor power even after China has become a major power.
If EU doesn't want Serbia, China wants
the West loves freedom but only when that freedom means choosing the West
Realpolitik was invented by Commies
I got emotional when I saw such a warm welcome from Serbia. Long live China and Serbia friendship. Best wishes from Australia. ❤❤❤
Long live friendship China and Serbia

Politically aside, the weather in Serbia is indeed better than in France😊

China is interested in Serbia, because the shared interest can benefit both countries.
What shared interest?
@@SpazzyMcGee1337 We're both against U.S hegemony and U.S led imperialism represented by NATO.

@@TD1237 You call the things that happend in Yugoslavia before NATO intervened "live(ing) happily"?
We can argue about if it was right or wrong for NATO to take action, without the green light from the UN,
but calling the situation in the Balkan region "living happily" is ... how should I say it? .... a "strange" kind of humor.

The trade between China and Serbia is nothing peculiar; it's the most ordinary transaction: money for goods. It's elsewhere in the world where trade has become strange: purchasing goods must meet political conditions, must satisfy all of America's demands, must not include parts from a certain country... Everything has become too peculiar, so the normal trade between China and Serbia has unexpectedly become a symbol of friendship. Is it China or Serbia that's wrong, or is it the world that's wrong?
Трговина између Кине и Србије није ништа чудно; то је најобичнија трансакција: новац за робу. Ту где је трговина постала чудна је на неким другим местима у свету: куповина робе мора испунити политичке услове, мора задовољити све захтеве Сједињених Америчких Држава, не сме садржавати делове из одређене земље... Све је постало превише чудно, тако да је нормална трговина између Кине и Србије неочекивано постала симбол пријатељства. Да ли је Кина или Србија погрешна, или је свет погрешан?
The President of Serbia is a very respectable leader who has allowed Serbia as a small country to move forward in a stable manner with all the historical legacies and the dryness of foreign powers. Love from China❤
China loves cooperation, and China does not like to restrict others
Your social credit score has gone up!
Hong Kong, Taiwan, & Tibet would argue.
African, Asian and Latin American countries deeply indebted to China's neo-colonialism and oppression in the name of development and business would disagree with you.

Germany’s academics actually studied China’s investments in the Balkans very thoroughly. According to a report titled “Green BRI Projects in the Western Balkan countries” it even listed the composition of the 2 types of investments in each country, namely energy, transport and others. One thing that’s very interesting is the railway link starting from Budapest to Belgrade to Skopje and finally ending up in port Piraeus.
EU have no corruption?
they call it Networking :)

@@francescoguzzetta Lots of people would argue corruption in the West is far more serious than in Russia. Lobby in the US groups are examples of legalized corruption which is far more serious

CO2 emissions per capita in Germany were 8.7 metric ton. In China, the CO2 emissions per capita were 7.8 metric ton. For Serbia, the CO2 emissions per capita were 6.7 metric tons. Before criticising others over environmental standards, Germans should take a serious look at themselves
It’s interested that those European countries blindly follow behind it big boss all endup either in war or recession. Those countries maintain its own neutral policy & focus on its own development are doing so much better in economic and development.
Why just not celebrate the good relationship between the 2 nations, rather than smear and soil their names

Europe needs Serbia? IF you dont need us, we have friends... actually world is much larger place then westerners imagine. We are part of european heritage and we live on european ways, but we are independent country and not obliged to follow agenda. We have some strong allies around like Victor Orban Hungary. Independent countries prestige will just grow up with time as west is declining. As `world majority` prefers cooperation with such countries and with such political ethos.
Cheer up. Serbia!!!

Never forget NATO aggression. Kosovo is Serbia

China will ‘never forget’ NATO bombing its embassy in Serbia .
During the 78 days of airstrikes, many civilians were killed.
Human Rights Watch put the death toll at 500 while Serbian officials said the number was closer to 2,000.
The Serbian President is very smart. He publicly requested China build train and electric car factories in Serbia .China will find it hard to turn down this request to an ironclad friend .These are factories for the future and thus quarantee a future for his people.
Please correct the spelling of "ironclad"
I don't want to express my opinion on the EU and its complexity and the different interests, but the chinese way and american way to make business was once nice described in a context over investments in South America and Africa. The USA is delivering better quality, but for a humongous price. They have no interest that you can pay of your debt and want only to sell you something. Where China positioned itself as a good partner, who has no interest to slaves you and is a faire partner. The difference lies in the mentality. China goes for the long goal and USA for the all mighty dollar.

is he saying it should be China or the US or anyone else to determine if a project IN SERBIA is legal/ illegal or environment friendly or not?
isnt it SERBIA's right to do so?
Up until many years ago, N. Macedonia, my homeland had good relations with China and we used to have big infrastructure projects like they have in Serbia. Now I haven 't heard much about China in my country, maybe I 'm wrong, they did build a highway in the eastern part of my country a few years back. 🤔
Since EU openly declared recognition of Kosovo as an independent state to be a condition to Serbia's EU membership, the EU is becoming less interesting and popular in Serbia.
funny how Serbia used to be a thorn for the silk road past millennia and is now a bridgehead for the belt and road initiative together with Hungary.

This is what 'Soft Power' is about. You make friends and build a 'mutually beneficial' relationship with sincerity. Not selling arms in the name of maintaining world peace and order, and using/supporting war(s) to stop war(s). Not enriching one's country through preaching and selling one's idealogy to other countries, only to cause divisions and not helping their economies and standard of living... It is nothing but hipocrisy!
Before saying to much comments, just to write that a week after Xi, guest of Serbia is Olena Zelenski, wife of President of Ukraine...
Xi is a humble man and the CCP respects territorial integrity...except the territory of Taiwan, India, and Philippines. And don't think about the Uyghurs, all Western lies - honestly!
what a sour feeling between the lines of western media's report
Ironclad bc both were bombed by NATO. NATO divided their country into small bite size and Serbia have territorial dispute with Kosovo. China is holding veto power to prevent Kosovo from becoming independent state. Probably the only country in EU that does not wish to join EU or NATO. DW dont need to make it more complicated than what it is. lol.
