Beijing | The European Union’s chief trade negotiator has warned Beijing’s failure to condemn Russia’s war in Ukraine is damaging China’s investment opportunities, as he wrapped a high-stakes trip to the world’s second-largest economy.

Valdis Dombrovskis, an executive vice-president at the European Commission, issued some of the bloc’s strongest criticisms yet of President Xi Jinping’s war stance, tying foreign policy to trade ties. The EU official’s press briefing on Tuesday in Beijing capped a four-day trip to China designed to stabilise bilateral relations.
