BRUSSELS - Tensions over trade, investments and minority rights may prevent China and the EU from agreeing a joint declaration at a summit next week, four diplomats in Brussels said on Friday, sapping a European push for greater access to Chinese markets.
By diplomatic convention, joint statements are issued at the conclusion of high-profile bilateral summits to formalize policy. But Chinese officials have removed or changed many of those references, the EU diplomats said, raising the embarrassing probability of no communique at all after Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and European Council President Donald Tusk have met.
The Chinese foreign ministry was not immediately available for comment. Earlier this week Vice Foreign Minister Wang Chao told reporters both sides were working to reach a consensus.
