Be it known worldwide what Asia is reminded daily: China is aggressive and not an ally of the West.

Asian neighbors of China have learned to know how to react when China steps out of line with them.

But Serbia is actually friends with China and is situated on the European continent.  It dates back to when China was gaining its own independence; when the Chinese embassy was bombed in Belgrade.

On a recent trip to Serbia, President Xi stopped at where the Chinese embassy was until bombed by the West, commenting to the effect that "the Western-led order is bad and must be changed." Economist, May 11, 2024, p. 32.   

Yes, definitely, China is not an ally of the West, but a pretty good trading partner, especially with Germany!

My opinion.
