The 25th EU-China summit in Beijing marked 50 years of diplomatic ties but was overshadowed by deepening tensions over trade imbalances, China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war, and mutual grievances. European leaders pressed China to address its trade surplus and leverage its influence over Russia to help end the conflict in Ukraine, while China urged the EU to make 'the right strategic choice' and criticized recent EU trade actions. Despite these strains, both sides managed to issue a joint statement on climate change and rare earth cooperation, but made little progress on broader economic or geopolitical disputes. The summit, shortened to one day, highlighted that climate cooperation is no longer a safe haven in the relationship, as trust and alignment have eroded. Overall, the meeting underscored that EU-China ties are at a critical crossroads, with future cooperation hinging on resolving key differences.
