العلاقات بين الاتحاد الأوروبي والصين تصل إلى "نقطة تحول" في ظل التوترات التجارية والانقسامات الجيوسياسية

The 25th EU-China summit in Beijing marked 50 years of diplomatic ties but was overshadowed by escalating trade tensions and disagreements over China's support for Russia in the Ukraine war. European leaders, including Ursula von der Leyen, pressed China to address economic imbalances, open its markets, and reduce its trade surplus with the EU. Despite the friction, both sides managed to issue a joint statement on climate change, highlighting this as a rare area of cooperation. The summit was notably scaled back, reflecting low expectations for major breakthroughs. The overall mood was tense, with both parties acknowledging the need for a 'rebalancing' of their relationship as global geopolitical pressures mount.
