In 1999, NATO carried out a bombing campaign in Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War.

On 7 May, five American bombs hit the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing three people and damaging relations between China and the West.

Ben Henderson speaks to Hong Shen, a Chinese businessman, who was one of the first on the scene.
