The latest EU-China summit in Beijing marked the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties but was overshadowed by deepening trade disputes and geopolitical rifts, particularly over China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war.
European leaders pressed China to open its markets, address economic imbalances, and use its influence to push Russia toward peace, but made little progress beyond a joint climate statement. Both sides acknowledged their relationship is at an 'inflection point,' with EU officials warning that China's stance on Russia is now a key factor in future cooperation. Despite shared concerns over US tariffs, the summit highlighted persistent mistrust and a lack of concrete solutions on trade and security.
The only significant agreement was a renewed commitment to climate action, underscoring the limited common ground between the two powers.
