A high-stakes summit in Beijing marking 50 years of EU-China diplomatic ties has exposed deep divisions between the two powers.
European leaders pressed China to address economic imbalances, open its markets, and use its influence to push Russia toward ending the war in Ukraine. Despite calls for cooperation, the summit yielded few concrete outcomes beyond a joint statement on climate change.
Trade disputes, China's support for Russia, and concerns over market access dominated the talks, with EU officials warning that relations are at an 'inflection point.' Both sides acknowledged the need for dialogue but left major issues unresolved, signaling a challenging path ahead for EU-China relations.
