CHINESE President Xi Jinping condemned Nato as he began his visit to Serbia today, 25 years to the day after the Western military alliance carried out a deadly bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade.

In a letter published in the Serbian media outlet Politika, Mr Xi said China would never forget how “Nato brazenly bombed the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia, killing three Chinese journalists.

“The China-Serbia friendship, forged with the blood of our compatriots, will stay in the shared memory of the Chinese and Serbian peoples.”
