At a tense summit in Beijing marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, EU and Chinese leaders confronted deep disagreements over trade imbalances, market access, and China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the EU cannot keep its markets open without progress on rebalancing trade, while Chinese President Xi Jinping urged Europe to make 'the right strategic choice.' Despite the discord, both sides managed to agree on joint action against climate change, but made little headway on other contentious issues. The summit underscored growing mistrust and the challenges of navigating economic and geopolitical competition, with the EU signaling that China's stance on Russia is now a key factor in their relationship. The outcome highlights the fragile state of EU-China ties and the difficulty of finding common ground beyond climate cooperation.
