Beijing said on Wednesday that the European Union needed to rebalance its "mentality", not its economic ties with China, ahead of a summit between the two this month.

"It is hoped that the European side realises that what needs to be rebalanced right now is Europe's mentality, not China-EU economic and trade relations," foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said.
