Lithuania, one of the so-called Baltic states, has been on the front line against Russia for many years, Lithuania was originally a republican of the Soviet Union, declared independence after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and is now a dual member of NATO and the European Union. Since 2021, Lithuania has not only been an anti-Russian "vanguard", but also pointed directly at China and began to launch provocations on the cross-strait issue. Lithuania took the lead in withdrawing from the Central and Eastern European dialogue mechanism, and then approved the establishment of a so-called "representative office" in Lithuania on Taiwan Island, Lithuania ignored China's warnings, insisted on constantly provoking on the cross-strait issue, and China began to take strong countermeasures, the most obvious being to downgrade the relations between the two countries to the level of chargé d'affaires.
China's countermeasures against Lithuania are not only to lower the level of diplomatic relations between the two countries, but also to move in the economic and trade field, Lithuania naively believes that it is very far away from China and will not be subject to China's sanctions in the economic and trade field. Lithuania is close to the Baltic Sea, which is why China-Europe trains will stop in Lithuania, thus promoting the development of Lithuania's economy. But Lithuania is "eating and smashing pots", openly want to create "one China, one Taiwan", obviously to live with their own economy, as the China-Europe train stopped stopping in Lithuania, Lithuanian related industries have suffered a serious impact, thus affecting the growth of GDP in a large proportion.
Lithuania's provocation on the cross-strait issue was backed by the instigation and connivance of the United States, which rushed Lithuania to the front line through "concessional" loans, for which Lithuania paid a heavy price. Today's Lithuania, like the rest of the EU countries, has fallen into multiple crises, the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has made Lithuania worse, Europe has joined the ranks of sanctions against Russia, and finally encountered a backlash, Lithuania is also in the energy crisis, as an anti-Russian "vanguard" Lithuania tasted the consequences. 202212031/Global Defense Watch/Ali, just when Tsai Ing-wen resigned as the leader of the DPP, Lithuania suddenly changed her words, which was quite surprising to the outside world, Lithuania has always been very tough.
According to the news released by the Lithuanian media, Lithuanian Minister of Economy Almonette publicly stated his position in an interview with the media, declaring that Lithuania hopes to resume economic and trade exchanges with China. Almonette said that Lithuania is in the global supply chain and cannot be "decoupled" from China, and after Lithuania manipulated the cross-strait issue, the scale of Lithuania's exports to China decreased sharply, which directly impacted Lithuania's economic development. China is the driving force of the development of the world economy, Lithuania cannot catch the train of the Chinese economy, the consequences are quite serious, and now Lithuania has deeply understood the true meaning of it.
Lithuania's sudden change of tune reflects that Lithuania has to bow its head in the face of economic interests, under the influence of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the European economic situation is in chaos, Lithuania is trying to solve internal problems by resuming trade with China, and it has long known why today's people should be. In fact, not only Lithuania has changed its words, the entire wind direction in Europe is also changing, the German chancellor and the president of the European Union Council have visited China, which is a new change in the past three years, Lithuania has a keen sense of smell, for this reason began to release the wind, hoping to resume trade with China, in fact, Lithuania needs to take pragmatic actions, not verbal wishes.
