Recently, the President of the European CommissionVondeAfter Lane's visit to ChinaEuropean UnionIn conjunction with the release of a report on Xinjiang by the United States, it claims to be very concerned about China's human rights situation. However, this statement made China extremely indignant, and the Chinese side respondedEuropean UnionTake care of yourself before talking about human rights. It can be seen from thisVondeThere is a high probability that Lane's visit to China will have little success. The foreign ** "Politician" is even more bluntVondeRyan has achieved very little in China, but China has prepared a grand treat for him to return home with great pleasure. VondeThe imbalance between China and Europe and China's position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict that Lane has been emphasizing all the timeEuropean UnionI didn't see the results I expected. This also means,VondeThe failure of Lane's visit to China is particularly embarrassing for Lithuania.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis was thereVondeBefore his visit to China, Lane confidently claimed that China had lifted its grip on LithuaniaEconomypressure, however, this claim was quickly denied by China*** and the Ministry of Commerce. They quickly responded that if Lithuania did not correct its mistakes, neutrality would be difficult to unfold. The Lithuanian Foreign Minister deceived himself because he overestimatedEuropean Unionunderestimates China's determination to counteract Lithuania. After all, after Lithuania violated the one-China principle and deliberately set up a "Taiwan representative office" on its territory, neutral diplomatic relations were downgraded to the level of chargé d'affaires. However,European Unionhas always supported Lithuania and repeatedly asked China to lift its aggression against LithuaniaEconomysanctions, and even claims if necessaryEuropean UnionLithuania will be appropriately compensated. But now it seems,European UnionIf the position is not adjusted, China's threat to Central Europe** will also continue, which will undoubtedly be a blow to Lithuania.
Recently, Lithuanian ** Nauseda realized this reality and began to warn the Lithuanian Foreign Minister. She said China was a "big country with a good memory" and cited the example of Norway's renewed relations with China. As we know, due toNobel PrizeAs a result, Sino-Norwegian relations deteriorated sharply. However, in the end, Norway sent the first minister to actively admit its mistakes and take the initiative to visit China, and Sino-Norwegian relations gradually returned to normal. This example clearly illustrates two problems: first, Lithuania's mistakes can only be made by Lithuania itself to apologize to China, and relations between the two sides can begin to get back on track. Otherwise, just as China has done in Norway for eight years, China will also take an equal attitude towards Lithuania, perhaps even longer;Secondly, Norway, as one of the most influential countries in Europe, is known worldwide for its highly developed modern industry and is one of the richest and most livable countries in the world. And Lithuania is only a small country with a population of less than 3 millionEconomycondition andInternationalIn terms of popularity, it is indeed a little inferior in comparison. There was even a time when Lithuania was revealed to be about to go bankrupt. Lithuania, so to speakEconomyThe situation is relatively poor, although it has not reached the level of real bankruptcy. Therefore, it is difficult to say how long Lithuania will be able to hold out. Lithuania's warning to the Lithuanian Foreign Minister only reveals a fact, he just tells the truth, and the specific outcome will depend on how Lithuania will act.
Lithuania as a small country, itsInternationalstatus andEconomyThe strength is relatively weak, and there is a lack of strong onesInternationalInfluence. This makes Lithuania relatively fragile in its handling of relations with China. In the face of China's tough posture and countermeasures, Lithuania feels increasingly embarrassed and helpless. And at the same time,European UnionLithuania has not given sufficient support and assistance when it is facing difficulties, but has a tendency towards China, which makes Lithuania even more isolated. Lithuania inEconomyon still not able to get rid of the pairEuropean Unionis highly dependent, which makes its situation even more difficult. Although Lithuania** warned the Lithuanian Foreign Minister, it is difficult to determine whether this will lead to a substantive change.
A series of misjudgments and overestimation of Lithuania's position in "Sino-European relations" by the Lithuanian foreign minister have led to today's predicament. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania is inVondePrior to his visit to China, Ryan was extremely optimistic that China would lift restrictions on Lithuania. However, the reality is cruel, and China has introduced clear countermeasures, not only canceling formal diplomatic relations with Lithuania, but also strengthening itEconomySanction. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to a small country.
Behind Lithuania's "self-righteousness" this time, it also highlights the political relationship between Lithuania and ChinaEconomyand cultural imbalances. Lithuania has a misunderstanding and one-sided perception of China, a lack of deep understanding of China's strength, and a lack of comprehensive understanding of China's policies and actions. At the same time, Lithuania also lacks strategy and wisdom in handling its relations with China, and blindly pursues its own interests while ignoring the principle of equality and win-win results. Whether Lithuania can face up to its mistakes and correct them in a timely manner will determine the direction of relations between the two countries.
Of course, in neutral relations, it is impossible to determine what actions Lithuania will take to correct its mistakes, however, judging from China's counter-attitude, Lithuania will need to pay a lot of effort and cost if it wants to rebuild normal relations with China. Lithuania needs to realize that China is a "big country with a good memory", and it treatsInternationalThe attitude of relations is based on principles and long-term interests, and it will not be easily compromised by the unreasonable behavior of small countries. Therefore, the most important thing for Lithuania to repair relations with China is sincerity and action, not just verbal warnings. Only by making a clear apology to China and correcting its mistakes will it be possible to normalize relations.
In short, Lithuania has made all kinds of miscalculations and misjudgments in handling its relations with China, which has led to the predicament it is now in. The Lithuanian Foreign Minister overestimatedEuropean Unionand Lithuania's position in Sino-European relations, underestimating China's strength and determination. If Lithuania wants to change the situation now, it needs to face up to its mistakes, apologize to China, and take positive actions. Only in this way will it be possible for Lithuania to re-establish normal relations with China and get out of its predicament.
