It's not a big surprise to me and I think this is linked to the fact that Serbia is one of China's biggest partner in Europe.

I can easily imagine that chinese companies now want to export their tech, including surveillance tech, to other countries and that they're lobbying for it.

Glad it was withdrawn that easily.

I am not sure why are you being downvoted. Mass surveillance in Belgrade exist for some years and China helped the government with implementation. Serbia will continue to buy surveillance equipment from China regardless of this law.

Serbia is definitely becoming a Chinese colony. China is placing dirty industries here, effectively cutting transportation costs to the EU and reducing pollution in China. Also, a few years ago there were official government proposals (like this) to bring Chinese police to Serbia.

Unfortunately, the EU absolutely doesn't care about any of this and actively supports the Vucic regime.

Thanks for your support, but just wanted to point out that Serbia is not part of EU yet.

And I wouldn’t stop there. Why wouldn’t China want to profit from the surveillance of others as well? It would give them an edge, at least ostensibly, and a way to keep spreading their tentacles and to displace the American empire.
