US EditionThe Poker Game Between the US, China, and Europe
BEIJING, CHINA, JUL 22 – EU leaders aim to address worsening human rights abuses by Chinese authorities, including forced labor and arbitrary detention, while strengthening bilateral relations, according to 17 NGOs.
- The 25th China-European Union Summit is scheduled for July 24-25, 2025, in Beijing, marking 50 years of diplomatic relations.
- The summit occurs amid strained EU-China ties, caused by trade tensions, human rights concerns, and geopolitical pressures including US influence.
- Chinese leaders plan to urge the EU to reject trade measures disadvantaging China during the summit, while the EU expects Beijing to respect human rights obligations.
- EU-China trade was valued over 845 billion euros in 2024, but experts like Lukas Fiala say the summit will likely yield no major shifts aside from continued dialogue.
- The summit represents both an opportunity to reinforce cooperation amid challenges and a test of the EU's ability to balance relations with China and the US.
