China and the European Union Are Also Preparing a Landmark Declaration on Climate Cooperation
Top representatives from the European Union met with Chinese President Xi Jinping Thursday, opening their first in-person summit since 2023 that's exposing a divide between the bloc and Beijing just months after earlier signs of a possible détente. Tensions spanning trade to the war in Ukraine are casting a pall over an event that coincides with the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-EU diplomatic ties.
The meeting has been cut short from two days to one at Beijing's request, Bloomberg News has reported, with the venue changed from Brussels to the Chinese capital after Xi refused to travel to Europe for the talks.
