EU-China Summit Concludes with Potential for Collaboration Despite Trade Deficit

China urged to halt exports of dual-use technologies to Russia and increase imports from Europe, as both sides align on tackling climate change.

EU-China summit concluded last week with low expectations but was deemed a success due to open discussions on key concerns.
EU's trade deficit with China, which was nearly €400 billion last year, is a significant issue, with China's exports to the EU drastically expanding in recent years.
Political tensions persist, but the EU and China have aligned interests in tackling climate change and can potentially collaborate on green technologies.
China must halt export of dual-use technologies to Russia, facilitate European imports and investments with greater market access, and collaborate on climate change and sustainable development in Africa.
Despite political differences, both EU and China are urged to work together to uphold their responsibilities to build a better world.
