The upcoming EU-China summit in Beijing marks 50 years of diplomatic relations but comes at a time of deepening trade disputes and strategic mistrust.
European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen and António Costa, are expected to press China on issues such as fair competition, economic security, and Russia's war in Ukraine. Expectations for major breakthroughs are low, with both sides bracing for difficult discussions amid accusations of unfair trade practices and concerns over global power dynamics. European businesses find themselves caught in the middle as the EU seeks to balance economic interests with calls for greater autonomy and unity.
The summit highlights the growing complexity and strain in EU-China relations, with the US playing a significant role in shaping the broader geopolitical landscape.
