Nedavni obisk srbskega predsednika Aleksandra Vučića na Kitajskem predstavlja vstop v novo fazo srbsko-kitajskega strateškega partnerstva, v katerem tehnologija, robotika in umetna inteligenca postajajo ključni dejavniki odnosov, ki presegajo pomen tradicionalnih infrastrukturnih projektov. Srbija z intenzivnejšim sodelovanjem z azijsko velesilo krepi svoj regionalni geopolitični položaj in se profilira kot tehnološko in logistično središče Zahodnega Balkana . Kakšne bodo dolgoročne posledice nadaljnjega razvoja srbsko-kitajskih odnosov?
Uradni obisk predsednika Vučića na Kitajskem je potekal od 24. do 28. maja 2026, predstavlja pa eno izmed politično in gospodarsko najpomembnejših dvostranskih dejavnosti Srbije v zadnjih letih. Že samo dejstvo, da gre za najdaljši dvostranski obisk, ki ga je Vučić opravil v času svojega predsedniškega mandata, priča o visoki stopnji političnega zaupanja med Beogradom in Pekingom , pa tudi o vse bolj intenzivnem strateškem pozicioniranju Srbije znotraj kitajske globalne gospodarske, tehnološke in geopolitične arhitekture.
Obisk je minil v obdobju pospešene preobrazbe mednarodnega sistema, ki ga zaznamuje postopno premikanje težišča globalne moči proti Aziji in krepitev večpolarnih teženj. Hkrati Kitajska nadaljuje svoj prehod iz globalne proizvodne sile v status vodilnega središča visokih tehnologij, umetne inteligence, robotike, digitalne infrastrukture in naprednih industrijskih zmogljivosti, s čimer še dodatno krepi svoj položaj enega ključnih akterjev v sodobnem mednarodnem redu.

Vučićev obisk je imel posebno geopolitično težo zaradi dejstva, da je sledil takoj po simbolično zelo pomembnih srečanjih kitajskega vodstva z ameriškim predsednikom Donaldom Trumpom in ruskim predsednikom Vladimirjem Putinom . Ta srečanja so v veliki meri zaznamovala novo fazo v redefiniranju globalnih odnosov moči in oblikovanju prihodnje arhitekture mednarodnega sistema. V tem širšem kontekstu Srbija, čeprav je v mednarodnem smislu majhna država, posredno vstopa v diplomatski prostor, v katerem se oblikujejo ključni parametri nastajajočega večpolarnega reda. Že samo dejstvo, da je Peking kmalu po srečanju z voditeljema dveh največjih vojaških sil na svetu namenil srbskemu predsedniku določeno pozornost, kaže na naraščajoči strateški pomen Beograda v kitajski politiki do Evrope in Zahodnega Balkana.
Srbija se poskuša potrditi kot regionalno tehnološko, logistično in investicijsko središče ter kot najpomembnejši partner Kitajske na Zahodnem Balkanu. Obisk torej presega okvir klasičnega diplomatskega dogodka in predstavlja jasen signal ambicije Srbije, da postopoma preide iz faze pretežno infrastrukturnega uporabnika kitajskega kapitala v fazo tehnološkega partnerja, proizvodne baze in regionalne platforme nove industrijske dobe.
Kitajska danes predstavlja najpomembnejšega neevropskega trgovinskega in finančnega partnerja Srbije, kar je bilo dodatno potrjeno z uveljavitvijo sporazuma o prosti trgovini med Srbijo in Kitajsko 1. julija 2024. Sporazum predvideva postopno odpravo ali znižanje carin za približno 20.000 izdelkov, s katerimi trgujeta državi, kar ustvarja bistveno ugodnejše pogoje za nadaljnjo rast trgovine, naložb in industrijskega sodelovanja.
Skupna letna trgovina med Srbijo in Kitajsko je trenutno ocenjena na med 6,5 in 7,5 milijarde ameriških dolarjev (za primerjavo, to je nekaj manj kot znaša bilanca med Kitajsko in Slovenijo, op. uredn.) . Izvoz Srbije na Kitajsko presega milijardo dolarjev, uvoz iz Kitajske pa 5,5 milijarde dolarjev, kar kaže na znatno trgovinsko neravnovesje, hkrati pa potrjuje vse večjo integracijo Srbije v kitajske proizvodne in distribucijske verige. Kitajska je že nekaj let med petimi največjimi tujimi vlagatelji v Srbiji, medtem ko se ocenjena vrednost kumulativnih kitajskih neposrednih tujih naložb giblje med tremi in petimi milijardami evrov, odvisno od metodologije izračuna.

Najpomembnejše kitajske naložbe so skoncentrirane v rudarskem, industrijskem, energetskem in infrastrukturnem sektorju. Posebej velja omeniti naložbe podjetja Zijin Mining v Boru in Majdanpeku , naložbe podjetja Linglong Tire v Zrenjaninu ter infrastrukturne in digitalne projekte, ki jih izvajata Huawei in China Road and Bridge Corporation . Po razpoložljivih ocenah se med 35 in 45 odstotki kitajskih naložb nanaša na rudarstvo in metalurgijo, 25 do 30 odstotkov na infrastrukturne projekte, 20 do 25 odstotkov na industrijsko proizvodnjo, medtem ko sektor informacijsko-komunikacijskih tehnologij in digitalnih inovacij še vedno predstavlja manj kot deset odstotkov vseh naložb.
Zaradi tega bi morala biti ena od strateških prioritet prihodnjega sodelovanja znatno povečanje kitajskih naložb v raziskave in razvoj, centre za umetno inteligenco, digitalne inovacije in visoke tehnologije. Dolgoročna trajnost srbsko-kitajskega partnerstva ne bo odvisna zgolj od obsega trgovine in naložb, temveč tudi od sposobnosti preoblikovanja sodelovanja iz modela, ki temelji na kapitalsk…

N1 SlovenijaIndependentCenter6 days agoResearchers have developed a new type of vaccine using artificial intelligence (AI), which has been tested on humans. The goal is to create a universal vaccine effective against all known variants of coronaviruses in humans and related viruses in bats that could potentially jump to humans and cause future pandemics. Traditional vaccines teach the immune system to recognize a specific virus, but they become ineffective when viruses mutate. AI helps identify stable genetic features across different strains, allowing a single vaccine to target entire virus families rather than individual strains.
Bias read (Center): The article presents scientific research on a vaccine development process involving AI without taking a stance on political issues. It focuses on technical details and does not frame the information with ideological bias.
