The latest EU-China summit in Beijing marked a tense turning point in relations, with both sides acknowledging that ties are at an 'inflection point.' European leaders pressed China to address trade imbalances, open its markets, and use its influence to help end Russia's war in Ukraine.
Despite marking 50 years of diplomatic relations, the summit yielded little progress beyond a joint statement on climate change. Trade disputes, China's support for Russia, and mutual distrust dominated the agenda, overshadowing any hopes for a broader rapprochement.
Both sides now face the challenge of navigating a fraught relationship that has significant implications for global trade and security.
