Some time ago, after China was just counterattacking, Lithuania realized its mistake and made it clear that the establishment of a "representative office" was not intended. He also pointed out that we need to deal quickly with the consequences arising from it. Recently, it was reported that after admitting its mistake to China, Lithuania made a big move and sent a large-scale delegation to visit China.
Want to come to China to apologize? Lithuania sent a delegation
On January 24, local time, according to foreign media reports, when the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics were about to open, Lithuania implemented a big move. According to the report, the Olympic Committee said it would send a delegation, including 13 athletes, to China to attend the Beijing Winter Olympics. IOC President Dana pointed out that during the epidemic prevention and control period, it is not easy to send delegations. However, both athletes and others will take on new challenges.
It is clear that, given the current serious damage to neutral relations, Lithuania's move may be of particular significance. Some analysts say Lithuania is doing so because the Beijing Winter Olympics will normalize relations between the two countries. It is worth noting that according to media reports, after sending a delegation to visit China, an important message came from the Lithuanian side that unexpected things may happen to the "Taiwan independence elements."
After discussing "changing the name," the Taiwan authorities found that something was wrong
On January 25, local time, according to Reuters, two informed officials said that last week, the legislature foreign minister submitted a proposal to the government to change the name of the "Taiwan Representative Office", claiming to turn it into a "Taiwan People's" representative office. Kojala, head of the Vilnius Center for Eastern European Studies, pointed out that changing the name of the representative office to "the people of Taiwan" means that the government wants to establish better ties with the people in Taiwan, not with the Taiwan authorities. It is reported that the United States has also suggested that Lithuania change its name. Obviously, this points to a key issue, namely that Lithuania may soon adjust its relations with Taiwan.
At the same time, this also shows that unexpected things have happened to the "Taiwan independence elements." In view of this, some media have ridiculed that the Taiwan authorities have previously given Lithuania a lot of help, such as providing a financing fund of 1 billion US dollars, but this has not made it firmly on the side of the DPP authorities, and it has once again become a joke.
On January 26, local time, the Chinese government issued a verbal statement to the Taiwan authorities. Zhu Fenglian, a spokeswoman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said that in order to seek political self-interest, the DPP authorities have spent huge sums of money and become "kaizi" to seek "independence" in the international community. All they spend is the hard-earned money of the ordinary people of Taiwan, and they are out-and-out "money diplomacy" and "Kaizi diplomacy," which not only increases the laughing stock, but also harms the interests and well-being of the Taiwan people.
