China abruptly cancelled Josep Borrell’s visit to Beijing amid ongoing disagreements between the two powers over trade, human rights and the Ukraine war
China has abruptly cancelled a visit to Beijing by the European Union’s top diplomat, the EU said Wednesday, amid ongoing disagreements between the two powers over trade, human rights and the Ukraine war.
Borrell was initially scheduled to visit Beijing in April but had to postpone after testing positive for Covid-19, the EU said. The “systemic rival” designation, first adopted by the EU in 2019, has long irked Beijing, as have recent European efforts to align with the United States on reducing dependencies on Chinese trade and supply chains.
