US General Warns Serbia About Russia's China

Serbia has the sovereign right to buy weapons from China or anyone it wants, but Serbian power should open its eyes and decide as if to avoid replacing an addiction, the one from the Kremlin, with another- that of the Chinese Communist Party, US General Frederick Ben Hodges said.

I would expect the defence ministry to pay due attention when it comes to confirming the interaction of Chinese systems in the framework of their systems and defence concepts, as well as sustainability, long-term maintenance, ammunition, training, [safe parts...”, Hodges told REL.

He said he hopes the Serbian government will do its best for Serbia's young, by linking agreements that would enable you to have better and more perspective agreements. )

The “Agreements with China usually include some negative results, such as transfer or theft of technology, infusion of the Chinese workforce at the expense of employment of the nicotine workforce, and extremely irresistable debt payment deal of China”, the American general said.

Hodges, who commanded US Land Forces to Europe from 2014 to 2017, is now a collaborator of the European Policy Analysis Centre (CEPA), also added that the West would have to compete with China by offering better conditions.
