China and EU to Hold High-Stakes Summit in Beijing Amid Trade Tensions. China has confirmed it will host a major summit with the European Union in Beijing this week, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations and aiming to ease rising trade tensions. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Antonio Costa will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping and co-chair a summit with Premier Li Qiang on Thursday. The talks come as global trade friction intensifies and China looks to strengthen ties with the EU amid strained relations with the U.S. EU-China relations have soured in recent years over human rights concerns in Xinjiang and disputes over Chinese-made electric vehicles, rare earths, and agricultural goods. While von der Leyen recently praised China's economic rise, she criticized its market access restrictions and support for Russia's wartime economy. Still, both sides say they see the need to reset relations and cooperate in a more uncertain global trade landscape.
