-- Some 200 Chinese turned out in Belgrade's main square
today to protest the bombing at their country's embassy.

The demonstrators produced a letter addressed to NATO in which they blast what they call "aggression" against China. They also say they support the Serbs.

That feeling appears to be mutual. The Chinese were joined by several hundred Serbs carrying anti-NATO banners and red communist flags.

Beijing Embassies face fury of the Beijing mob

MOBS bussed in by the authorities were still besieging the British and United States embassies in Beijing last night as Nato's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade threatened diplomatic efforts to end the Balkans conflict.

Screaming slogans such as "Kill America", thousands of students and workers pelted the missions with stones or fire bombs and beat Western journalists and passers-by. Li Zhaoxing, the Chinese ambassador to Washington, expressed fury at the bombing and hinted that Beijing might retaliate with a Security Council veto of peace initiatives if "anyone tries to whitewash it [the bombing] as a mistake"
