The latest EU-China summit in Beijing marked a critical moment in their relationship, with both sides acknowledging that ties are at an 'inflection point.' Trade imbalances, China's support for Russia amid the Ukraine war, and mutual accusations of unfair economic practices dominated the tense discussions.
While the two powers managed to agree on a joint statement addressing climate change, little progress was made on resolving deeper disputes over trade and geopolitical issues.
