China's diplomacy is good at safeguarding national interests, especially when dealing with issues involving core interests and major principles. Lithuania asEuropean UnionMember States, on the other hand, have shown a disrespectful and provocative stance against China on the Taiwan issue. Although Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis claimed in advance of his visit that China had lifted pressure on Lithuania, this proved to be a misunderstanding of self-deception.
The Lithuanian Foreign Minister underestimated China's resolute determination to safeguard the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty. China has taken countermeasures against the establishment of a "Taiwan Representative Office" in LithuaniaDiplomatic relationsDowngrade processing.

This has undoubtedly intensifiedVondeThe failure of Lane's visit to China exposes the possibility that negotiations with China will not go well during his visit. China has always been committed to safeguarding its own interests and sovereignty and will not be swayed by pressure from any country or region. As far as Lithuania is concerned, its lack of understanding of China's history, culture, national conditions and public opinion has led to its ignorance of China's actions and countermeasures.
Lithuania's warning from Nauseda can be described as a reflection and reminder of the Lithuanian Foreign Minister. He wisely pointed out that China is a "big country with a good memory." This statement actually told the Lithuanian foreign minister that relations between the two sides could only be improved if Lithuania itself corrected its mistakes and apologized to China. Nauseda also cited the example of Norway, which was named after NorwayNobelThe incident led to a sharp deterioration in relations with China, which was eventually restored through a positive apology to China and a personal visit to China. This shows that honesty, respect and cooperation are key to resolving the issue of neutral relations.

In general,European UnionAfter a failed visit to China, Lithuania Nauseda admitted that China has a "good memory", and this incident once again demonstrated the decisiveness and firmness of China's diplomacy. Lithuania's provocative actions will only bring about itself and will not do anything good. China is unwavering on the issue of safeguarding its territorial integrity and sovereignty, and if Lithuania wants to restore relations with China, it must face the issue squarely and take a step of sincerity based on the principles of honesty, respect and cooperation.
As mentioned in the Global Times recently, Lithuania's warning from Nauseda said that Lithuania must soberly recognize its mistake and take practical actions to correct it. Only in this way will Lithuania be able to carry out cooperation with China and achieve a win-win result. In the face of China's tough response, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis should reflect on his own behavior, correct his mistakes as soon as possible, and strive to resume dialogue and cooperation with China. This is not only in the national interests of Lithuania, but also in the common interests of the two neutral countries. It is only through friendship, mutual assistance and mutual respect that neutral relations can continue to develop and benefit the two peoples.
