การประชุมสุดยอดระหว่างสหภาพยุโรป-จีนเปิดเผยความแตกแยกลึกลง แม้จะมีคำสัญญาเรื่องสภาพภูมิอากาศ

At the 25th EU-China summit in Beijing, leaders from both sides acknowledged growing tensions over trade imbalances, China's support for Russia, and market access issues. While the summit produced a joint statement on climate cooperation, little progress was made on resolving economic disputes or geopolitical concerns, particularly regarding the Ukraine war. European leaders pressed China to use its influence over Russia and to address unfair trade practices, but Chinese officials pushed back against EU trade actions and called for relaxed export restrictions. The meeting, marking 50 years of diplomatic ties, was shortened to one day and highlighted that relations are at a critical 'inflection point.' Despite limited agreements, the summit underscored persistent mistrust and the challenges facing future EU-China cooperation.
