China condemns Lithuanian officials' visit to Taiwan region, vows resolute response

Phoenix TV: Agnė Vaiciukevičiūtė, Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications of Lithuania, led a delegation to Taiwan on August 7 for a five-day visit. Do you have any comment?

Wang Wenbin: We strongly condemn the act of Lithuania’s anti-China forces to deliberately infringe on China’s sovereignty and grossly interfere in China’s domestic affairs. The one-China principle is a basic norm in international relations and the political foundation on which China develops bilateral relations with all other countries including Lithuania. The Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Lithuania clearly stipulates that the Government of the Republic of Lithuania recognizes the Government of the People’s Republic of China as the sole legal government of China and Taiwan as an inalienable part of the Chinese territory. The Government of the Republic of Lithuania undertakes the obligation not to establish official relations or engage in official contacts with Taiwan. However, Lithuania has time and again reneged on its commitment and apparently been acting in bad faith.

China will act resolutely in response to the egregious provocation of certain individuals in Lithuania to challenge the one-China principle and undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We urge certain people in Lithuania to stop being the pawn of the “Taiwan independence” and anti-China forces and stop moving even further down the wrong path.

What else can Lithuania do to get attention?

[cleofeschwarzinger]

Hahaha what do you want in Taiwan LITHUANIA?

[hok]

China should announce that Lithuania is part of Russia.

[pugpoultree]

China will find it easier to support Russia's expansion. This is the Lithuania that interfered with supply lines to Kaliningrad.

[oklahoma]

Lithuania would like to be a big predator but it can't.

[MMAX-dbcv]

Lithuanian leaders play dangerous and pretentious game with a losing hand.

[stewmaker]

A tiny outpost trying to punch above its class.

Lithuanian report their US/EU master, so this visit to Taiwan is done as per request of the US. They doing it to test China's actions during such visits and expect these official visits by G7 and US-EU allied members to emulate such visits. As I said before, these visits by officials show support for Taiwan is beyond China's control and focus on a strategy to remove all Taiwan separatists from the island. Otherwise prepare a recorded message to play every time these official visits in fact they are tone deaf to China.

Lithuania is so small nation and it needs to use Taiwan to stand out itself.

[mars]

It’s important for China to keep laying out exactly what was agreed to and how western countries are undermining it.

Lithuania is that little bully that rely on his big brother's reputation only. We all know how to deal with those annoying brats, when we grew up. Simply beating after school would be the only solution for this. He will cry and run home and tell his parents and all his big brother's, that he didn't do anything. But somehow, some evil people surrounded him and beat him up. Yeah, we know the rest of the story. I never thought, adults would behave like this. Actually, when I lived in the EU, I already thought that those 3 Baltic countries were something special and weird. Now, it seems like that got Zelensky mentality too.

[PinkR_Tulip]

[sirburst]

Can you imagine..bug lithuanian trying to please her masters.

[Kingdom-cgbm]

Lithuania is too small to waste a saliva!!

[singaanom]

Hai Lithuanian. Taiwan is too far from where you are. Just take care of your own country, don't interfere in the domestic affairs of other people's countries.

[freeworld]

95% of the Chinese in Taiwan island do not want independence.
2m Taiwan islanders are living in the Mainland and do business their and more half all the Taiwan islanders Chinese money coming from the Mainland...
How crazy a few bad apple ruin the Chinese culture.. but never underestimate the few bad apples can ruining the whole islanders.
China Mainland strategy is weak in the past 15yrs...need an upgrades and new approaches to work with the businesses on the island. All the rich islanders are in China Mainland... these people are the Mainland strength..

[james_l]

Few decades later, we shall see what happens to Lithuania

[s.m.]

You are right, there are pawns. You don’t know through which depths I traversed to convince them to be pawns.
