The EU-China summit
was set to be a geopolitical high point of Germany's rotating
presidency of the Council of the European Union, with Chancellor Angela
Merkel playing host. The eastern German city of Leipzig was to be the
stage for the three-day summit, when Chinese President Xi Jinping would
have met together with all 27 EU heads of state for the first time.
Germany's government canceled the physical summit in June because of the coronavirus pandemic. Now only protesters are coming to Leipzig.
The summit is being held virtually and has been shortened to one day. Merkel, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will all be in attendance for Monday's video conference with Xi.
