Yugoslavia-China relations (21st Century Crisis)

Yugoslavia-China relations (Serbo-Croatian: Односи између Југославије и Кине, Odnosi između Jugoslavije i Kine, Chinese: 南斯拉夫 - 中國關係) are the political relations between the Federal Republics of Yugoslavia and the People's Republic of China. Yugoslavia contains an embassy in Beijing and China contains an embassy in Belgrade. Relations between Yugoslavia and China have been rather minimal, and during the modern-days, rather hostile. Currently, 71.4% of Yugoslavs see China and Chinese influence as negative, with only 9% seeing it as positive. This would make Yugoslavia one of the most Sinophobic countries in the world. Certain incidents, such as the Chinese tourist incidents at Belgrade of 2011 and Split in 2017 and the alleged use of lead in Chinese products exported to Yugoslavia has only worsened the situation, with over 90% of Yugoslavs stating that they would support a complete and total ban on all Chinese tourists and Chinese migration to Yugoslavia, and 85% of Yugoslavs supporting for laws prohibiting intermarriage between Yugoslavs and Chinese. It is for this reason that Yugoslavia has one of the lowest overseas Chinese population, with most of the Chinese Yugoslavian community having fled elsewhere, out of fear of the Sinophobic environment. In spite of this, both being allies of Russia, both countries generally share political support and agreements to a certain degree, for example, China supports Kosovo's status as being part of Serbia. However, Yugoslavia does not share the same opinion of Taiwan, and although being a Russian military ally, supports Taiwan being under the military protection of the United States. In addition, both countries also supported the established governments of the Middle East during the Arab Spring.

During the Cold War, despite both countries being communist states, Yugoslavia (while not being a part of the Warsaw Pact), sided with Moscow during the Soviet Union's heated tensions with China.
