Lithuania, the one suing China the most, recently ushered in a lawsuit into the city, and the European Union has put it on hold for the time being. In other words, the lawsuit was not won
"The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, the rude and insults the neighbors, and the greedy and clumsy friends can also die." It's Baltic Lithuania that's the best example!
It is obviously a small country, but it has to challenge China and Russia and leave no way back for itself. It is now abandoned by the United States and the European Union, and the people are dissatisfied.
Today's biggest joke has come out, according to the Efe news agency on January 26, the European Union has suspended the WTO lawsuit against China. This is not the EU, it is Lithuania who wants the EU to sue China at the WTO.
The EU is now suspending prosecutions, which will last for 12 months, and if they are not reinstated, the lawsuit will be drowned.
is a bit like Meng Wanzhou's case, not to withdraw the lawsuit, but to suspend the prosecution or the two sides to reach a settlement, in fact, it is also to find an excuse for themselves.
For Lithuania, this result seems unacceptable, meaning that the EU will not help them.
Again, it is said that a weak country has no diplomacy. The EU is not guilty of damaging the economic and trade exchanges between China and Europe for the sake of Lithuania, to a certain extent, Lithuania does not get too high a card.
Lithuania's economic and trade exchanges with China have fallen into a trough, which is different from expectations
At the beginning, Lithuania had to go against China, get closer to Taiwan, and set up a so-called Taiwan office, which greatly damaged the relations between the two sides.
The price is that the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides have been greatly affected, eating Chinese food and smashing China's pot, how can there be such a cheap thing?
Perhaps Lithuania thought at that time that the economic and trade exchanges with Taiwan and the benefits it received from the European Union and the United States were enough to make up for the property losses caused by Lithuania, so it did not matter.
But it turns out that Lithuania takes it for granted.
In the 21st century, even China, the world's factory, would not dare to bear the impact of offending a certain big country, let alone Lithuania, a small country.
The Houthis in Yemen have been affected, not only by Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, but also by China.
Lithuania's economy, which is largely dependent on neighboring countries, such as Germany, is the best place to invest.
Invest in setting up factories here, which in turn will drive the development of Lithuania's economy. But Lithuania is determined to die and make enemies with China.
First of all, the impact is that the Germans do not dare to invest in Lithuania to set up factories, businessmen are very smart in politics, and the current relationship between China and Lithuania will be affected by the economic and trade exchanges between the two sides.
What is produced in Lithuania may also face a situation where it cannot be sold in China, which is not official and private to do it themselves, in fact.
After the bad relations between China and Lithuania, many Chinese merchants automatically cut ties with Lithuania, and many Chinese merchants even suggested to Lithuanian businessmen that they should sell their things to Taiwan.
For Lithuania, it will also end their chance to find a way to get orders from the EU!!
The United States itself does not have much extra funds, and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has taken away a lot of funds from the United States, where will Lithuania be given too many opportunities!
Moreover, why the Lithuanian government has put forward the hope that economic and trade relations between China and Lithuania can be restored, it is only more necessary to check its words and watch its deeds, otherwise it is unnecessary.
The China-Europe freight train is the envy of Lithuania, and the EU attaches more importance to the Chinese market
In the context of close relations between China and the EU, the EU is also paying more attention to the Chinese market, and after the twists and turns in the Red Sea, the China-Europe freight train has become a lifesaver.
In this context, it seems that the China-Europe train has become very important.
There are 50 trips a day, which is a small amount, but these have nothing to do with Lithuania.
Considering the twists and turns in the relationship between China and Lithuania, China and Russia still had the EU to discuss at that time, and chose the China-Europe train not to pass through Lithuania.
That is to say, what materials Lithuania wants, it needs to be pulled back at the next station or the previous station, which virtually delays the cost of transportation.
In fact, many European countries have realized the importance of cooperation with China, even the pro-American faction, they just say that they do not want to decouple from China, but to maintain a certain degree of distance, that is, they cannot be too closely involved and cannot completely rely on China.
After all, we can't completely rely on one country, just like our China's energy trade, even if the relationship with Russia is good, it is impossible to put all the treasure on Russia, and pay attention to energy diversification.
And when the EU is now engaged in economic and trade exchanges with China, it is also facing a problem, that is, it cannot blindly follow the United States, because this will lead to a great reaction from China.
Similarly, Lithuania is so economical that it is obviously unrealistic for the EU to follow and mess around.
To put it simply, it is really wise for the EU to suspend this lawsuit, and the EU also has a hard time. After all, it is not the EU's intention for Lithuania to unilaterally fight with China, so why let the EU pay for you?
It is not easy for Lithuania to recover, and it is destined to be abandoned
As far as Lithuania is concerned, filing a complaint with the WTO is not their ultimate goal.
The real goal is to maintain contacts with China, but it is very difficult at the moment.
President Cao Wan once said that China is a country with a very good memory, and don't forget that Norway also experienced something similar back then, and it took seven years to resume diplomatic contacts with China.
I don't know if you remember the Norwegian ambassador to China at that time, and he didn't dare to return to China at all, because he was afraid that he would not be able to apply for a visa to return to China.
Lithuania has lost a good opportunity that neither the Lithuanian ambassador to China nor the chargé d'affaires ad interim of Lithuania is in China.
If we look at the bad relations between the United States and China last year, the US ambassador to China kept in contact with relevant leaders, in fact, in order to ease the relations between the two sides.
At this time, ambassadors abroad are very important, even in the United States, not to mention Lithuania.
However, the Lithuanian embassy in China has been closed, and it should be called an agency, which is tantamount to losing an opportunity.
It's easy for you to go and want to come back, where can it be so easy?
Another point is that Norway was able to ease relations with China back then, thanks to the mediation of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
This person is very capable and fair, so he can be trusted by China.
But now there is still Merkel in European countries, and there is no one who is not enough to make a fist in the middle, and if you want to restore diplomatic relations between Lithuania and China, where will it be so easy!!
At the beginning, Lithuania said that diplomatic trade between China and Lithuania had resumed, but now it seems that there is no chance.
brief summary
It can only be said that relations between Lithuania and China will not be as expected by Lithuania.
Or more precisely, Lithuania is doomed to be abandoned by the EU at the same time, like a clown who jumps off the beam
