Reuters: China's EU Envoy Says No Flexibility on Taiwan, Sanctions, Trade
BRUSSELS (Reuters) - China will never change its position on Taiwan and will also not shift its view that the European Union must lift its sanctions if a new Sino-EU investment deal is to be ratified, China's ambassador to the EU said on Tuesday.

Is China sending a message to the Biden administration as well as Europe?

There was no progress.
Both sides knew the other sides' positions.
Summit was a smashing success from the Washington DC point of view, since Biden and his circus were shown to be engaged in process.
