The European Commission held a debate on EU-China relations on May 29, 2026, to assess the current state of the partnership. The Commission emphasized that its strategy remains focused on de‑risking rather than decoupling. China is described as a critical partner, and the Commission will continue to engage in dialogue and cooperation. However, officials noted that the present trade and investment relationship is not sustainable, given the growing interlinkage of economic and security interests. The debate will inform work over the coming weeks, leading to further discussions at the G7 and European Council meetings in June. The discussion also highlighted the importance of coordinating policy actions across EU member states to ensure a cohesive stance.
