European leaders met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday for talks dominated by divisions between the EU and its largest economic partner. EU President Ursula von der Leyen, flanked by European Council President Charles Michel and EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, said there were “clear imbalances and differences that we must address.” China and the EU have heightened diplomatic engagement this year, seeking to hasten post-pandemic recovery and repair damaged ties. Several EU commissioners have visited Beijing to restart high-level dialogue.
