The latest EU-China summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, was dominated by rising trade tensions, a growing European trade deficit with China, and disagreements over China's stance on Russia's war in Ukraine. European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, pressed China for a more balanced economic relationship and greater market openness, warning that continued imbalances could threaten future cooperation.
