Tensions between the European Union and China have escalated sharply as the EU imposed sanctions on Chinese banks and companies accused of aiding Russia's war effort in Ukraine. EU leaders have warned that China's relationship with Russia is now the 'determining factor' in EU-China ties, urging Beijing to use its influence to push Moscow toward ending the conflict. China has strongly protested the sanctions, vowing retaliation and insisting that its cooperation with Russia is not directed against third parties.

The standoff signals a critical inflection point in global diplomacy, with economic and geopolitical consequences for both sides.
