    China urges NATO to respect Serbia’s sovereignty

    China urged the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to respect Serbia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and truly contribute to regional peace, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday during a regular press briefing.

    …

    Regarding the escalating tensions in the region, Mao said that China is closely following the developments, adding that China supports Serbia’s effort to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity.

    The spokesperson vowed opposition to unilateral actions by the temporary institutions in Pristina and called on it to perform its duty of establishing an association/community of Serb majority municipalities.

        I think it can be a diplomatic boost for China if they solve this conflict in Europe, although I doubt they’ll get too involved.

          China is too smart and cautious to get itself involved in such a conflict. They gave their token support to Serbia and that’s it - nobody in the CPC wants China to be seen as the one stirring up conflict in Europe or elsewhere.

          Same reason why they don’t (openly) support the NPA in the Philippines and they keep reiterating that they want a peaceful solution to the SMO. China cares about being seen as the reasonable mediator, someone countries can rely on to actually stop conflicts instead of escalating them like SOME countries do
