China's President Xi warned top EU officials not to engage in confrontation during their talks. The EU and China discussed their trade relationship, with the EU pressing Beijing on trade imbalances and overcapacity in Chinese electric vehicles. Moody's downgrade warning for China's credit rating was raised by Xi, reflecting concerns over the economy. The EU is de-risking from China and several European countries have released China-specific strategies, indicating a cautious approach towards China. The EU's reconciliation with Beijing will be conditional on China's willingness to address fundamental divergences.
