CHINA-EU SUMMIT ENDS IN DEBACLE, EUROPEAN DELEGATION LEAVES BEIJING EARLY

The EU delegation left the Chinese capital Beijing after the summit, which lasted less than a day, ended in complete failure.

According to the Australian magazine The Diplomat, the EU-China negotiations did not lead to a rapprochement, despite the transatlantic rift between the EU and the United States.

Reuters reports that the negotiations were very tense, especially on trade and Ukraine issues, and no agreement was signed. "The EU tried to talk to China from a position of strength."

The EU delegation was led by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas. China was represented in person by President Xi Jinping.

Some notes: in order to "talk from a position of strength" you actually need strength, and if at the helm of diplomacy there's the trifecta of those three clowns, failure is guaranteed.
