A key European leader has highlighted China's trade war with Australia in a major speech calling for a rethink of the continent's relationship with the superpower, based in part on the approach Beijing takes to Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday said the "Chinese Communist Party's clear goal is a systemic change of the international order with China at its centre".She called for the 27-nation bloc to "de-risk" its economic and diplomatic relationship with Beijing but to maintain ties with a "vital trading partner", noting most trade wasn't in any way "risky".
