Dispute with China puts Lithuania closer to Taiwan and Australia | DW News

Relations are frosty between Lithuania and China. All because the Baltic country and Taiwan are forging closer economic ties. Taiwan is a self-ruled island, which nevertheless Beijing claims as its own. And the Chinese boycott of its goods is having an impact on businesses in Lithuania.

Man, it’s so refreshing to see a country that isn’t afraid to stand up for what’s right. That’s even exacerbated by Lithuania’s comparatively smaller size.

Meanwhile John Cena apologizes with tears in his eyes for calling Taiwan a country.

Divert the Lithuanian liquor to Singapore as well. I'll buy a bottle even though I don't drink. Just like I have a bottle of Australian wine.

Even though there are a lot of criticism in Lithuanian society about this, but I am proud of us, that we stand and show China, that we are not going to pushed.

From India, much love and immense respect to Lithuania for doing what our civil and foreign service is too cowardly to do. Long live Lithuania, long live Taiwan! 🇱🇹🇹🇼🇮🇳

Both respect and envy to Lithuania from Estonia. Ours is having trouble finding same courage, despite our shared history of being oppressed by a much larger neighbor

[rryyttee]

As Lithuanian I'm proud to see our current government showing leadership on a global scale. Let's display true nature of greed consumed governments. We are on the right page in history here.

As a Malaysian, I am disgusted and fed up with CCP bullying and economic cohesion. Long live Lithuania and Taiwan!

[ottomanosman]

As a Turk, I support Lithuania against threats from China and Russia. Sadly our Turkey is being occupied by a dictator who loved Putin…

[mathew]

Good for Lithuania 🇱🇹 I wish my country Canada 🇨🇦 would also open a representative office for Taiwan 🇹🇼 Peace loving democracies should all support each other. Our hearts are with you Taiwan and Lithuania 🇹🇼🇱🇹🇹🇼🇱🇹

[thescotchirishman]

Lithuania was the first to declare independence from the USSR and will happily stand against China.

[rickjames]

Great stuff! much love Lithuania, Taiwan, and Australia. I hope other countries start to back Taiwan even more. Ignoring the CCP will only give them more power to continue their vindictive bullying.

[luvuu]

as a taiwanese, very glad to see this on the media.
