פגישת השוברים בין האיחוד האירופי לסין: מתח גבוה, תקוות נמוכות כאשר סחר ואקלים מובילים את הסדר היום

The upcoming EU-China summit in Beijing marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties but is overshadowed by deep political and economic tensions. Both sides are grappling with trade frictions, security concerns, and the impact of U.S. policies, leading to rock-bottom expectations for any major breakthroughs. Despite the strained atmosphere, leaders are expected to issue a joint statement on climate change, signaling some willingness to cooperate on global challenges. The summit reflects a complex relationship where mutual suspicion and competition often outweigh opportunities for collaboration. Observers note that while the meeting itself is seen as a diplomatic achievement, substantial progress on key issues remains unlikely.
