The recent EU-China summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, exposed deepening rifts between the two powers.
Despite limited agreements on climate action and rare earth exports, the talks were dominated by disputes over trade imbalances, China's stance on Ukraine, and concerns about Beijing's economic practices. European leaders described the relationship as being at an 'inflection point,' with calls for a more balanced partnership and greater market openness from China. The summit ended early and with little progress, highlighting the growing challenges in forging meaningful cooperation.
These tensions come as both sides face external pressures, particularly from U.S. trade policies and global geopolitical shifts.
