European Union and Chinese leaders are meeting in Beijing for a high-stakes summit marking 50 years of diplomatic relations, but expectations are low amid escalating trade disputes and strategic mistrust.
The summit comes as both sides face pressure from U.S. trade policies and struggle to resolve issues over market access, critical minerals, and economic security. European leaders are seeking to balance economic cooperation with concerns over China's trade practices and its stance on global issues like the Ukraine war. Despite calls for deeper business ties and dialogue, the mood is tense, with little hope for major breakthroughs.
The outcome of the summit could shape the future of EU-China relations and impact global economic stability.
