European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described EU-China ties as being at a "clear inflection point" during a summit in Beijing marking 50 years of diplomatic relations, reported Reuters.
Tensions ran high over China's alleged supply of dual-use goods to Russia and its dominance in key raw materials, while the EU voiced concern over industrial overcapacity and economic coercion.
Talks, initially scheduled for longer, were cut to a single day at Beijing's request. While the two sides identified limited paths to cooperation, including trade and climate, mutual distrust persisted, punctuating a symbolic milestone with deep unease.
