The latest EU-China summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, was dominated by escalating trade tensions and disagreements over China's support for Russia.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the EU cannot keep its markets open unless China addresses trade imbalances and overcapacity. While both sides managed to agree on joint action against climate change, little progress was made on other contentious issues, including economic fairness and geopolitical alignment. Chinese President Xi Jinping urged the EU to make 'the right strategic choice' and deepen cooperation, but EU leaders insisted on 'real solutions' to rebalance the relationship.
The summit underscored a critical inflection point in EU-China ties, with future cooperation hanging in the balance.
