European Union leaders are heading to Beijing for a high-stakes summit with China, marking the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two powers.

The summit is seen as a critical moment to address issues like fair competition, economic security, and the future of EU-China cooperation.
Despite calls for renewed engagement, deep divisions persist, making it unlikely that the summit will yield substantive agreements.
