European Union Officials Meet Chinese Leaders Eyeing Better Trade Balance and a Common Approach to War in Ukraine
EU’s Ursula Von der Leyen and China’s Xi Jinping.
The EU, used to bullying countries around, found its match in giant China.
European Union officials went to Beijing to meet Chinese leadership, in a bid to solve the differences in their bilateral relations.
The main sticking points were trade equality, the question of subsidies, and the deep divide over the war in Ukraine.
Chinese President Xi Jinping met with the two European ‘presidents’, Ursula von der Leyen from the EU Commission and Charles Michel from the EU Council.
The European Union, at this point, wants China to reduce the annual trade imbalance of more than $200 billion between the two sides.
