Two Serbian experts recently weighed in on the important messages Chinese President Xi Jinping sent out in his 2025 New Year Address, including China's pursuit of high-quality development across diverse sectors, particularly its leadership in electric vehicles, and its commitment to realizing China's complete reunification.
They also noted in Xi's address the active role China plays in global initiatives like the Belt and Road Initiative and the country's continued focus on international cooperation and technological innovation.
"I saw four key highlights in President Xi's New Year Address. I would say that the first one was the focus on high-quality development that China has been pursuing pretty much without frontiers, be it in space, the maritime, deep sea, be it on the ground, underground, in agriculture, in AI, in quantum computing. We have seen China really having fantastic success in producing [electric] vehicles and becoming a world leader. The third, I would say, message that President Xi has sent is, of course, regarding Taiwan and China's focus, on the reunification, the road to reunification," said Aleksandar Mitic, a research fellow at the Center for Belt And Road Studies and Institute of International Politics and Economics, in Belgrade.
"President Xi also pointed out that China actively participated in all global initiatives from the SCO to the G20. China has its Belt and Road Initiative, which most of the world is participating in. What can be expected is that China will continue to promote international cooperation, and the production of high-tech goods which serve the people," said Nebojsa Terzic, co-owner of Ningbo Xiangmiao Technology.
