西方媒体的这篇报道主要内容是，习近平在访问塞尔维亚时，提到了25年前美国轰炸中国驻贝尔格莱德大使馆的事件，借此向美国传递信息，并试图在欧洲推广中国的高科技产品。报道还提到了中国与塞尔维亚的贸易关系，以及欧洲对中国产品的反倾销指控。报道认为，习近平试图在欧洲推广中国产品并改变西方主导的秩序。 评论： 这篇报道带有明显的偏见，试图将习近平的访问描绘成一种对抗西方推广中国产品和价值观的举动。然而，客观地说，习近平的访问更多的是寻求合作与交流。中国与塞尔维亚的友好关系不应该被忽视，塞尔维亚在中国对外关系中占据重要地位。此外，报道中提到的中国产品在欧洲市场上的成功，也反映了中国产品的竞争力和欧洲消费者对中国产品的认可。至于报道中所说的中国产品倾销问题，应该在相互尊重平等协商的基础上解决，而不是简单地指责和报复。报道中还提到了中国的零新冠政策和与美国的关系，这些内容也应该在更全面客观的角度下讨论，而不是简单地批评和否定。总之，这篇报道过于强调对抗和冲突，缺乏对中国立场的理解和尊重，未能客观公正地报道习近平的访问。
THE POPULATION of Serbia is less than one-third of Beijing’s. China’s trade with the Balkan country is less than one-fortieth of that with Germany. Yet for China’s ruler, Xi Jinping, Serbia is important. It is a rare close friend on a continent where wariness of China has become the norm. It also happens that the country’s capital, Belgrade, witnessed a seminal moment in the evolution of West-despising Chinese nationalism. Twenty-five years ago American bombs hit the Chinese embassy there (pictured), killing three people. On his first visit to Europe since 2019 Mr Xi has been holding talks with Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, hoping to persuade him and his allies that China and its high-tech products are good for them. On May 7th and 8th, in Serbia, Mr Xi will use the anniversary of the bombing to make another point: that the Western-led order is bad and must be changed.
The world has changed dramatically since Mr Xi’s previous visit to Europe. A pandemic has swept it, keeping Mr Xi from venturing abroad for more than two and a half years. (Even in 2023, after China lifted its draconian “zero-covid” restrictions, Mr Xi seldom left the country.) Russia—China’s “no limits” partner—has mounted an all-out invasion of Ukraine, plunging Europe into its biggest security crisis since the cold war. Under President Joe Biden, America has ramped up a tech war with China aimed at curtailing its access to cutting-edge kit. The European Union has begun talking of a need to “de-risk” its relationship with China. Amid accusations that China is dumping underpriced goods on Western markets, calls for retaliation have been growing in Europe and elsewhere.
