Quote: Xi Jinping's decision not to travel to Europe [for the EU-China Summit], alongside other recent signals, made it clear from the outset that Beijing’s focus lies not on Europe but on the 'Global South'. — Tim Rühlig, 'Same summit, different stakes?'

🇨🇳 #China may be realising that, despite transatlantic tensions, the core differences between European and Chinese interests remain unchanged, writes @ruehlig.bsky.social.

Today's tense kick-off to the #EUChinaSummit is a clear reflection of this reality. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

As EU and Chinese leaders meet for the #EUChinaSummit, EU leadership can renew calls for the release of journalists in China and the end of censorship.

China is the world’s leading jailer of journalists and has routinely appeared at the top of CPJ’s annual prison census. cpj.org/thematic-rep...

Quote: "China perceives the countries of the so-called 'Global South' as natural, priority partners in its effort to build a coalition against what it sees as the illegitimate hegemony of the West." — Alice Ekman, 'China's turn towards the 'Global South': Europe is not Beijing's priority'

🇨🇳 #China sees Europe as potentially useful, but certainly not as a priority partner.

Ahead of tomorrow's #EUChinaSummit, Alice Ekman stresses the need for Europe to start taking China's global governance ambitions and coalition-building strategy seriously. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

📢 As the EU–China summit takes place this week, climate isn't on the formal agenda — but expectations are rising.

With the #US absent from multilateral efforts, eyes turn to the #EU and #China to step up ahead of #COP30.

New EUISS commentary | Same summit, different stakes? Written by Tim Rühlig

🇨🇳 The upcoming #EUChinaSummit may give the impression of business as usual. But the geopolitical context has changed.

Beijing may be realising that, despite ongoing transatlantic strains, fundamental EU-China divergences remain unchanged, writes @ruehlig.bsky.social. iss.europa.eu/publications...

The EU-China summit: a less than half-hearted golden wedding anniversary The most plausible outcomes of the upcoming China-EU Summit would be limited to low-profile measures such as concrete forms of cooperation.

The #EUChinaSummit is taking place in a context that goes beyond the bilateral relationship, with implications for the multilateral system and for the management of global challenges.

La Cumbre China-UE: bodas de oro sin ganas de celebrar Los resultados más plausibles de la próxima Cumbre China-UE se limitarían a medidas de bajo perfil como formas de cooperación concretas.

La #CumbreUEChina sucede en un contexto que va más allá de lo bilateral, con implicaciones sobre el sistema multilateral y la gestión de desafíos globales. #EUChinaSummit

In the wake of geopolitical turmoil, EU leaders must not shy away from tough topics at the upcoming 🇪🇺🇨🇳-summit. 💶 focus is important, but ignoring 🇷🇺's war against 🇺🇦 or escalating tensions in the Middle East is a grave mistake. We need to protect 🇹🇼 #EUChinaSummit
