After owing $47 billion in debt, Lithuania changed its attitude towards China and wanted to lease the port in exchange for Chinese funds

Recently, Lithuania is a very active country, because the Chinese ambassador to France Lu Shaye expressed his views on the Ukrainian issue and the sovereignty of the former Soviet Union member countries, after being groundlessly hyped by the Western media, Western anti-China politicians began to "shell" our ambassador, and even nearly 100 European parliamentarians jointly asked the French government to directly expel Ambassador Lu.

A few days ago, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Landsbergis said that the foreign ministries of the three Baltic countries have summoned Chinese diplomats to ask China to explain a clear explanation of this matter, and the position of the Chinese government must be clarified.

It can be seen that these small European countries as "allies" of the United States will interpret the double standard to the fullest, Lithuania has been against China on the Taiwan Strait issue since 2021, provoking China's sovereignty, Ambassador Lu just stated the facts, let this small projectile country "break the defense"? It's a glass heart.

In fact, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the border lines of the former union republics were divided according to the administrative line of the federal subject during the Soviet Union, and there would indeed be certain problems in such a division, so using this administrative line as the territorial boundary line of the sovereign state naturally brought various disputes.

Therefore, there is no problem with Ambassador Lu's remarks, and this time it caused an attack from Western politicians, not because of what he said, but because some pro-American forces in Europe want the opportunity to sow discord between China and France and China-Europe relations, so that China will become the target of Western public opinion. The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in France have clarified this, but the West still does not adhere to it.

However, the Lithuanian foreign minister suddenly changed his attitude on the 25th, and on the same day, the domestic website of the cubic party reported that Foreign Minister Bergess, who has been tough on China for many years, said in parliament that "China has clarified Lu Shaye's remarks and recognized the sovereignty of the three Baltic countries, and this matter has come to an end." Does Lithuania really feel that it is at a loss? In fact, this is not the case, but the cube needs China's help in one thing.

Lithuania, which has always been an "anti-China vanguard", currently owes $47 billion in foreign debt, accounting for 80% of the country's GDP, according to relevant regulations, the debt of EU countries cannot be higher than 60% of their GDP, and Europe and the United States have refused to rescue the cubic side, while China has become the target of Lithuania's help.

A few days ago, it was reported that the cubic government proposed to lease the port of Klaipeda to China in exchange for 20 billion US dollars to tide over the difficulties, this port is the largest port in the country, in July 2019, the Lifang government at that time because of this port, instigated by the United States, turned its face on China on the grounds of "harming national security", and the cubic government still owed China $600 million and did not pay back.

As a country with a population of about 3 million, frequently provoking China on the international stage has also paid the price for its actions, and in 2021, the diplomatic relations between the neutral two countries were downgraded to the "chargé d'affaires level", because the cubic government, under the instructions of the United States, allowed the establishment of the so-called "Taiwan representative office", which seriously undermined the "one China" principle and created "one China, one Taiwan", which is a serious interference in China's internal affairs.

In response to Lithuania's mistake, China also took immediate measures, many cubic products could not enter the Chinese customs, bilateral trade between the two countries dropped a lot, which will lose a lot of development opportunities for Lithuania, and we will not allow this phenomenon of "eating and smashing pots".

Since Lithuania has chosen the United States, it is responsible for its own choice, China does not want to appear "white-eyed wolves", Lithuania believes in the United States so much, it should go to Biden to save them, we will only cooperate with countries with sincerity, how to develop neutral relations next, the initiative has come to the hands of China, Lithuania has lost the opportunity to ease relations, if it continues to oppose China on Taiwan-related issues, then relations between the two countries will continue to deteriorate, and domestic economic problems will be more difficult to solve.
