Recently, Lithuania Nauseda once again emphasized the country's commitment to " " in an interview with LithuaniaOne Chinaprinciples". He criticized Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis' involvement in the Taiwan issue and warned other colleagues not to provoke China, which, as a great power that attaches great importance to principles and memory, will be wary of actions that challenge its bottom line. Nauseda's remarks are a response to Lithuania's efforts to improve relations with China in vain. While slamming Landsbergis, he clarified that Lithuania does not support the establishment of the so-called "Taiwan office". However, in the past series of decisions, Lithuania **, despite China's opposition, went against the grain, which led to serious consequences.
While seeking US assistance, Lithuania** decided to allow Taiwan to set up a representative office in Lithuania. In order to cater to the interests of the United States, they have even withdrawn from economic and trade cooperation projects with China and Central and Eastern European countries, and have tried to lobby other countries in the Central and Eastern European region to withdraw from this cooperation as well. However, these moves to curry favor with the United States have deprived Lithuania of its sovereignty and interests. In response to Lithuania's anti-China behavior, China quickly recalled its ambassador to Lithuania and demanded that the Lithuanian ambassador to China return to China. Diplomatic relations between the two sides have come to a standstill. This is just the beginning of China's punishment of this small country.
The shutdown of diplomatic relations between the neutral countries not only had a devastating effect on the ** of the two countries, but also led to the inability of Lithuanian products to enter the Chinese market, and Lithuanian distributors had to buy Chinese goods from other European countries at several times the **, which led to a spike in prices and an inflation rate of more than 20%. At the same time, the Chinese business community has further weakened Lithuania by spontaneously boycotting European multinationals with ties to LithuaniaEconomyand the business environment. Lithuania** tried to ask the EU for help, but was met with a cold reception.
Lithuania's provocative actions on Taiwan-related issues are not only to the stateEconomyand people's livelihood, but also caused discontent and calls for Landsbergis to resign. Landsbergis, however, arrogantly rejected popular demands and continued to provoke China on Taiwan-related issues, making him a target of criticism from Nauseda. Obviously, the deterioration of neutral relations will only cause harm to Lithuania itself. If they want to change the current unfavorable situation, they need to correct the wrong decision and go backOne ChinaThe principle comes up.
In conclusion, the provocation of Lithuania ** against China was a serious mistake. Their Taiwan-related behavior has led to serious consequences, not only bringing diplomatic relations between the two countries to a standstill, but also seriously affecting the peace between the two sidesEconomy。Lithuania** and Landsbergis should heed Nauseda's warning, reconsider their decision, and improve relations with China. Otherwise, they will only further harm their own interests, and China will continue to uphold its principles and defend its rights and interests.
