Lithuanian Foreign Minister visits Australia and hugs for warmth? Expert: I want to win sympathy by playing the role of "victim"

As senior officials from the members of the "Quadripartite Security Dialogue" gather in Australia, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landz Bergis, who has promoted the establishment of the so-called "Taiwan Representative Office," will also visit Australia on Tuesday, where he will meet with Australian Foreign Minister Payne and Defense Yardton.

Before the visit, Landsbergis declared in an interview with the Australian Financial Review on the 6th that "China's coercion and trade sanctions" will become the primary topic of exchanges between the two countries, "we will exchange views on how to deal with this situation, what we have learned, and how to become stronger from it, how to help each other and other issues." According to reports, Landsbergis also threatened that Lithuania did not intend to change the name of the "Taiwan representative office" under any circumstances, and that "the legislative government will adhere to the agreements reached."

Recently, Australia and Lithuania have increased interaction, before Lithuania promoted the EU on the so-called "trade coercion" issue in the World Trade Organization to file a lawsuit against China, Australia jumped out and said that it is willing to participate in the arbitration process, Professor Chen Hong, director of the Australian Research Center of East China Normal University, told the Global Times reporter on the 7th that the two countries now want to create a feeling of "pity for each other", and want to win the sympathy of the international community by playing the role of "victim" and confuse the international community, but the economies of the two countries are not complementary With the two even in competition in some consumer goods and agricultural sectors, Lithuania's desire to expect Australia to solve the economic problems it currently faces will prove to be a joke. Overall, the political significance of the Lithuanian Foreign Minister's visit to Australia far outweighs the economic benefits.

Chen Hong said that Australia and Lithuania do have some commonalities, that is, they have sadly become tools for the United States and the West to suppress China, bringing themselves huge trouble. However, there will be no more substantial support between Australia and Lithuania than to gain some illusory warmth through the so-called "hugging".
