The European Union and China are set to hold a high-level summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations amid escalating trade disputes and strategic mistrust.
Expectations for the summit are low, with both sides bracing for difficult discussions on issues such as trade imbalances, market access, and geopolitical divides, including the war in Ukraine. European businesses are caught in the crossfire, facing uncertainty as the world's major economies edge closer to economic conflict. The summit, shortened and relocated to Beijing, highlights the deep divisions and limited prospects for breakthrough agreements.
Despite calls for cooperation, the meeting is expected to underscore the challenges facing EU-China relations rather than resolve them.
