European Union leaders are meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing for the 25th EU-China summit, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations.
Despite the milestone, expectations for major breakthroughs are low due to ongoing trade frictions, disputes over critical minerals, and differences regarding Russia’s war in Ukraine. Both sides are under pressure from US tariffs and are seeking to rebalance their economic relationship, but mutual grievances and strategic mistrust persist.
