European Union and Chinese leaders met in Beijing for a high-stakes summit marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, but the mood was tense amid escalating trade disputes and disagreements over China's support for Russia. EU leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, pressed China to address the bloc's trade deficit and called for a 'rebalancing' of economic relations, while also urging Beijing to play a more constructive role in ending the war in Ukraine. Despite these tensions, both sides agreed on the need for joint action on climate change, issuing a statement reaffirming their commitment to the Paris Agreement. The summit underscored the growing complexity of EU-China relations, with both economic and geopolitical factors—such as US tariffs and global instability—shaping the agenda. While no major breakthroughs were achieved, the meeting highlighted the urgent need for 'real solutions' to maintain a stable and mutually beneficial partnership.
