China and Serbia have reaffirmed their strong bond during Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to Belgrade, emphasizing their shared wariness of the United States. President Xi commemorated the 25th anniversary of the mistaken NATO bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade and highlighted the enduring friendship between the two nations. The visit showcased the deep economic and political ties, with China being Serbia's largest foreign investor. Both countries share mutual support for each other's territorial claims, and Serbia remains firmly pro-Chinese despite souring public opinion on China in other parts of Europe. The visit also aimed to strengthen economic relations, with Serbia seeking to narrow its trade deficit with China through a new free trade agreement. President Xi's visit was met with a warm reception in Belgrade, although some opposition politicians criticized the authorities for orchestrating public displays of support.
