The EU pressed China to address its significant trade surplus and voiced concerns over Beijing's support for Russia amid the ongoing war in Ukraine. Chinese President Xi Jinping called for 'proper handling of frictions' and urged Europe to make 'the right strategic choice,' while EU leaders demanded 'real solutions' to rebalance the economic relationship. Both sides discussed cooperation on climate change, but expectations for major breakthroughs remained low. The summit highlighted deepening mistrust and the challenges of navigating global power shifts as both regions face pressure from U.S. trade policies.
