AFP reports on the reactions of the Chinese and Australian governments to Kosovo’s recent independence move.
But China was among countries unhappy with Kosovo’s breakaway from Serbia, declaring it was “deeply concerned” about the future of peace in the region.
“The unilateral approach by Kosovo may cause a series of consequences and lead to severe negative influences on the peace and stability of the Balkan region,” foreign ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said in a statement.
“China expresses deep concern about this.”
