The European Union and China are set to hold a high-level summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations amid escalating trade disputes and deepening mistrust.
Expectations for the summit are low, with both sides bracing for difficult discussions on issues such as unfair trade practices, market access, and geopolitical divides, particularly regarding Russia and global power dynamics. European businesses are caught in the crossfire, facing uncertainty as the world's major economies edge closer to economic conflict. The summit's agenda is further complicated by calls for fair competition, human rights concerns, and the influence of the United States on EU-China relations.
Despite the historic milestone, the meeting is expected to highlight divisions rather than deliver substantive breakthroughs.
