The European Union and China are set to hold a high-stakes summit in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations amid escalating trade disputes and strategic mistrust. Expectations for breakthroughs are low, as both sides grapple with issues such as unfair trade practices, economic dependency, and differing stances on global affairs, including Russia's war in Ukraine. European leaders are under pressure to maintain unity and protect business interests while navigating a complex relationship with China, which is also influenced by US-China tensions. The summit is seen as a critical test of whether the two major economies can find common ground or if divisions will deepen further. Businesses and observers are watching closely for any signs of progress on trade, investment, and broader cooperation.
