European Union and Chinese leaders have convened in Beijing for the 25th EU-China summit, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations amid heightened tensions.
The summit is dominated by disputes over trade imbalances, China's support for Russia, and the need for a more reciprocal economic relationship. Both sides are also positioning themselves as global leaders on climate change, especially as the US retreats from the issue. Despite calls for deeper trust and cooperation, expectations for major breakthroughs remain low, with leaders emphasizing the need for 'real solutions' and strategic choices in a turbulent world.
The outcome of the summit could shape the future of EU-China relations and their roles in global governance.
