According to the Global Network, the Slovenian prime minister made a big fuss in an interview with a certain Indian television station on January 17, saying that he would set up a "representative office" with Taiwan and talking long and short on the Taiwan issue and Sino-European relations. This is also another projectile country after Lithuania that openly challenges China's bottom line.
Turning to the Lithuanian issue, the Prime Minister of Slovenia expressed strong support and was willing to stand firmly with Lithuania and maintain the unity of the European Union. At the end, I would like to add that most EU countries have established some form of representative office in Taiwan, but the names are not the same, but they do not affect the practical significance.
As soon as this remark came out, Slovenia's own media did not take it seriously, but some media such as Taiwan and India boiled over, jumping out and shouting "diplomatic breakthroughs"! "Slovenia has dealt a heavy blow to China", this confused statement is almost powerless to spit out, and the face of schadenfreude is like a beam-jumping clown.
Slovenia, with a population of about 2 million and a land area of 20,273 square kilometers, wants to give China a blow, just like a fool with a small pebble thrown at a high-rise building, clapping his hands and cheering that he will make the building collapse, stupid and ridiculous.
In fact, the reason why the Slovenian prime minister threw out this remark may be related to two factors. The first is the country's prime minister's own problems, Slovenian Prime Minister Jansa has often done some non-mainstream things since coming to power in 2020, such as expressing unclear views on Taiwan-related issues, which has caused a lot of trouble for the EU. In addition, it is also related to the current situation, Andya jansa intends to use the Lithuania issue to put pressure on the EU and strengthen its Taiwan-related position.
For whatever reason, whether the negative effects of this egregious remark will be further amplified may be closely linked to the fate of Lithuania. Because all kinds of indications show that at present, some politicians and anti-China forces who are secretly holding back to make a mistake to China are waiting for an opportunity. The outcome of the Lithuanian issue will determine whether they emerge or not, and what China needs to do now is to kill chickens and scare monkeys, make Lithuania a special case, and prevent a second "Lithuania" from appearing.
Previously, the Chinese side took some measures in dealing with the Lithuanian issue, such as downgrading the embassy to the level of chargé d'affaires, which was more severe, but still showed diplomatic respect for the country. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry also said that we can wait and see what lithuania is doing.
Some people have expressed concern about how to limit such small countries that do not trade frequently to give them a head start. In fact, there are not many ways to restrict, the United States is the originator of this aspect, from exports, supplies, business exchanges, international organizations can be restricted.
For example, any goods stopping at Lithuanian ports are prohibited from being exported to China, any products containing parts and components produced in China must not be sold to Lithuania, any foreign enterprises exporting products in China are not allowed to invest in Lithuanian enterprises, and those who have been to Lithuania are not allowed to enter China.
There are many ways and means to restrict this country, but whether it is used or not depends on China's mood, after all, there are still many comprehensive factors to consider, but on the issue of defending national sovereignty, China will resolutely not give in. And from the fact that many Lithuanian enterprises have entered the "cold winter", the deputy foreign minister has to declare to the outside world that he did not expect this move to hurt Lithuania so much and underestimated China.
For the Lithuanian issue, the European Union and the United States have shown some indifference, and only Taiwan has said in a high profile that it will increase investment in Lithuania. No wonder there are Taiwanese people complaining, this is another CASH machine, "Taiwan's money is really good to cheat."
All in all, if there are other countries that try to re-take the Lithuanian road, they must also weigh their own pounds and a few pairs, and it is ridiculous to shake the tree without knowing it. Anyone who violates the one-China stand is doomed to have no good end.
