Lithuania, a small Eastern European country that has only 1% of China's territory, has recently caused great controversy and cost for its actions. The country once maintained friendly relations with China, even establishing diplomatic relations in 1991. However, in recent years, Lithuania has developed a series of disagreements with China, causing domestic economic difficulties.
First, Lithuania's announcement at the end of 2022 that Taiwan would allow Taiwan to establish a "representative office" on its territory was a serious violation of the "one-China" principle that China adheres to. This move is undoubtedly a serious provocation to China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, which led to a series of measures taken by China to respond to Lithuania.
In addition, Lithuania unilaterally withdrew from the cooperation platform "17+1" with China and other Eastern European countries, and made some unfriendly remarks in an attempt to divide EU countries and even encourage other EU countries to take action against China. Such actions not only hurt China's international reputation, but also harm Lithuania's own interests.
In the face of Lithuania's actions, China took a series of countermeasures, including restricting Lithuanian exports to China, which led to the closure of more than 1,300 enterprises in Lithuania and the unemployment of nearly 60,000 people. In addition, Lithuania faces a huge external debt and an energy crisis due to its dependence on imported energy and the surge in energy prices caused by energy sanctions imposed on Russia.
Lithuania had a glorious history, but declined in the late 17th century, mainly due to internal strife and Russian pressure. It declared independence at the beginning of the 20th century, but it has not been able to escape the fate of being overrun by other countries. Lithuania may want to highlight its presence by provoking China, but this is not wise.
In conclusion, we believe that only cooperation and mutual benefit are the best way to cope with today's complex international situation. Lithuania's actions will only cost it dearly, not change its international standing. Let us work together to maintain world peace and stability.
