Brussels and Beijing buy time, not solutions, and the €360bn deficit explains why

Desk note: Monexus framed the EU–China summit as a tempo-setting exercise with the deficit as the negotiating object, reporting both Western-wire and Chinese state-aligned framing at structural parity while declining to treat the joint communiqué as a substantive outcome.
