European Union leaders are meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing to mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations, but the summit is clouded by escalating trade disputes, strategic mistrust, and geopolitical divides. Both sides have low expectations for breakthroughs, as issues such as trade imbalances, dependency on Chinese supply chains, and differing stances on Russia's war in Ukraine dominate the agenda. European businesses are caught in the crossfire, facing uncertainty amid the world's three largest economies' growing friction.

The summit highlights the narrowing options for cooperation and the urgent need for both sides to recalibrate their relationship.
