Lithuania: A Historical Memory of a Small and Powerful Country.
Among the general principles of long-distance relations and close attacks between countries, Lithuania has become an unusual exception. Recently, China's first announcement of the recall of its ambassador to Lithuania has caused a shock in international diplomacy, which is almost equivalent to the severance of diplomatic relations. And what is the source of this turmoil that makes this small European country become the vanguard of anti-China urgency?
The rise and fall of history and the imprint of anti-Russian ideas.
Lithuania, although it is now a small country through the ordinary, was once glorious. At the beginning of the 13th century, Lithuania established its own independent state, while in the 14th century, it began to expand into the Belarusian region, eventually uniting with Poland to form the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania. However, this coalition was divided in 1795 and became part of Tsarist Russia, only to regain its independence in 1918.
After being controlled, Lithuania endured hardship, but gained independence after the First World War. However, during World War II, Soviet and German armies occupied Lithuania one of the three Baltic states. On the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Lithuanians decisively declared their independence and managed to break free from Soviet control in 1990.
Anti-Russian ideology laid down an anti-Chinese position.
Because the historical anti-Russian ideology is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Lithuanian people and its economic dependence on Russia is low, Lithuania chose to strongly turn to the West after the collapse of the Soviet Union, joining NATO and the European Union for security guarantees. At the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Lithuania took the lead in declaring independence, and the deep dissatisfaction with Russia laid the foundation for Lithuania's anti-Chinese policy today.
Lithuania's "security dependence" on the United States and its provocation against China.
On the one hand, due to historical hatred and deep distrust of Russia, Lithuania chose to join the EU and NATO, especially after the Crimean crisis in Ukraine in 2014, and felt more deeply Russia's threat to itself, and continued to strengthen ties with the United States and NATO. On the other hand, the rise of China in recent years has made the United States feel threatened, so the United States ** Biden decided to unite Europe in a "huddle for warmth", and Lithuania saw an opportunity to prove its loyalty to the United States. In terms of its attitude towards China, Lithuania has demonstrated its security dependence on the United States by withdrawing from the "17+1" cooperation mechanism and provoking China on the Taiwan issue, and even blatantly risking its core national interests.
Discontent with the Sino-Russian alliance with Lithuania.
In the face of the continued alliance between China and Russia, Lithuania not only hates Russia, but also shifts its discontent onto China. Lithuania believes that China's alliance with Russia will benefit Russia, so it projects its hatred on China and vents its dissatisfaction with Sino-Russian friendship and cooperation through extreme statements on the Taiwan issue.
Lithuania's political motives parted ways with China.
Lithuania's choice to challenge China's bottom line is politically motivated. By tightening its "security dependence" on the United States, venting its frustration with the Sino-Russian alliance, and misjudging that China's countermeasures would not be too tough, Lithuania has sought to gain more attention on the international stage. However, this risky act is bound to provoke a resolute response from China, and Lithuania will have to face the serious consequences of its political decision.
Summary: Historical hatred and political opportunity are intertwined, where does Lithuania choose to go?
Lithuania was once a powerful and independent country, but it has experienced ups and downs in the vicissitudes of history. Its deep anti-Russian ideology laid the foundation for anti-China, while its "security dependence" on the United States and its dissatisfaction with the Sino-Russian alliance drove Lithuania towards provocations against China. However, this decision will inevitably trigger a resolute counterattack from China, and Lithuania may face a difficult diplomatic situation. In the international arena, historical hatred and political opportunity are intertwined, becoming an important factor in where Lithuania chooses to go.
Title: Reflection and Dialogue: International Concerns Raised by Lithuania's Choice.
Recently, Lithuania has become the center of attention on the international stage, and its diplomatic dispute with China has been widely discussed. This article provides us with a deeper understanding through an in-depth analysis of Lithuania's historical origins and political motivations. However, I think it is necessary for us to reflect on this incident from multiple perspectives in order to promote dialogue and understanding.
First of all, historical origins are one of the important reasons why Lithuania chose to be anti-Chinese. The article notes that Lithuania has historically had an indissoluble enmity with Russia, which led to its deep anti-Russian ideology. However, it is worth pondering whether such historical entanglements should be the sole guiding factor for modern foreign policymaking. With the changes of the times, whether historical hatred should be regarded as the leading factor in the formulation of international relations policy, and how to balance the relationship between history and reality in dealing with global affairs are all topics that need to be studied in depth.
Secondly, Lithuania's "security dependence" on the United States is also part of its anti-Chinese motives. This shows that when countries make foreign policies, they are often influenced by the League of Nations. However, in the pursuit of security, we need to consider whether countries should consider broader international cooperation and multilateralism to solve global problems. In the current complex and volatile international situation, it is worth considering whether a single "security dependence" strategy can cope with various challenges.
Finally, the article mentions that Lithuania believes that China's countermeasures are not many, so it chooses to take the risk of provoking China. This has led me to think about the balance between hard-line attitude and dialogue in international relations. Can disputes between countries be resolved only through a tough stance, or are there more possibilities for resolving them through dialogue, consultation and cooperation? Should dialogue be at the heart of international relations in order to build a more harmonious and stable international order?
In general, Lithuania's anti-Chinese actions provoked deep thinking about international relations and foreign policy. In today's globalized world, the relationship between countries is getting closer and closer, and how to find a balance between cooperation and competition, and how to seek reconciliation between history and reality, is an important issue that requires the wisdom and efforts of all countries. It is hoped that through dialogue and cooperation, all countries can jointly promote the building of a more just and harmonious international order.
