The 25th EU-China summit in Beijing marked 50 years of diplomatic ties but was overshadowed by escalating trade disputes and geopolitical tensions, particularly over China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war. European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, pressed China to address economic imbalances, open its markets, and use its influence to push Russia toward peace. Despite the tense atmosphere and limited progress, both sides agreed to cooperate on climate change, issuing a joint statement on emissions reduction. The summit highlighted the growing strain in the relationship, with the EU warning that China's stance on Russia is now a 'determining factor' in future ties. Calls for 'rebalancing' the economic relationship and finding 'real solutions' dominated discussions, signaling a critical juncture for EU-China cooperation.
