The 25th EU-China summit in Beijing marked 50 years of diplomatic ties but was overshadowed by escalating trade disputes and deep divisions over China's stance on Russia's war in Ukraine.

The summit highlighted growing mistrust and the challenges of navigating complex geopolitical and economic interests between two of the world's largest economies.
