Why the EU-China Summit failed to meet the EU’s expectation...and so would other such talks.T was both extraordinary and incredible to hear EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borell,who along with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen took part in the 23rd EU-China Summit on April 1,describe the meeting as"a dialogue of the deaf."No doubt from the European Union’s point of view the dialogue with Chinese President Xi Jinpingand Premier Li Keqiang was fruitless and unsatisfactory but to equate lack of results to communication with the hearing impaired smacks of a medieval mindset not expected from its top diplomat.If this is the language of diplomacy,then no wonder the EU has been so singularly inept at negotiating a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine crisis.
