European Union leaders are meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing for a high-stakes summit marking 50 years of diplomatic relations. The talks come amid escalating trade disputes, mutual accusations of unfair practices, and deepening mistrust over issues like Russia's war in Ukraine and global power dynamics. Expectations for breakthroughs are low, with both sides bracing for difficult negotiations on trade, investment, and strategic autonomy. European businesses are increasingly caught in the crossfire, as the EU seeks to balance economic interests with security concerns and human rights. The summit highlights the growing complexity and strain in EU-China relations, with little hope for immediate resolution.
