The provocation of China's sovereignty caused the trouble, now even the EU does not want to care, and has suspended the lawsuit against China, where to go, Lithuania itself has to think clearly.
Lithuania is a small European country located on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea, with a land area of more than 60,000 square kilometers and a total population of less than 3 million. At the end of World War II, Lithuania was incorporated into the Soviet Union, and in the early nineties of the twentieth century, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it declared independence and began to control the destiny of the country on its own.
However, after Lithuania moved away from the camp of socialist countries, it embraced the thighs of the United States and the West and became one of the members of the European Union.
In order to win the support of the United States and the West, and also to express its determination to rely on the United States and the West, Lithuania can be described as a pawn with strong momentum in the process of confronting China and Russia, and it is even more fierce than several old European countries.
At the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Lithuania followed the United States and the Western camp to attack Russia ruthlessly, not only emptying out its family funds to actively assist Ukraine, but also calling on the people at home to "pick up guns and go to Ukraine".
Not only that, but Lithuania, at the instigation of the United States and the West, has openly jumped out to provoke China's sovereignty.
In 2021, in disregard of China's bitter persuasion and warnings, Lithuania resolutely struck hands with the Taiwan authorities, who manipulated the politics of "Taiwan independence", and connived at the establishment of a so-called "Taiwan office" in its country.
In this regard, China has long said that since Lithuania insists on going its own way, China will inevitably launch a strong counterattack, which not only interrupts the trade cooperation between the two countries, but also reduces the diplomatic relations between the two countries to the "chargé d'affaires level".
China's hardline attitude has made many European countries feel the crisis, and Germany has angrily denounced Lithuania as "stupid". Many European multinational companies with operations in Lithuania have decisively withdrawn their operations from Lithuania in order not to be implicated in Lithuania.
Lithuania, which has suffered a heavy economic blow, went to the EU to sue the wicked first, hoping that the EU would take the lead in sanctioning China.
In any case, Lithuania is also a member of the European Union, and the EU has to pretend to come out and file a lawsuit with the WTO against China's countermeasures.
With the support of the European Union, Lithuania has also strengthened its confidence a lot, and it has intensified its efforts on the Taiwan issue, not only carrying out economic and trade cooperation with the Taiwan authorities, but even setting up a so-called "Lithuanian office" in Taiwan, and putting on a posture to engage in "official exchanges" with the Taiwan authorities.
However, when it comes to the issue of national sovereignty, China cannot make the slightest concession in this regard, let alone Lithuania, a small country in Eastern Europe, and even the United States will never allow China to make concessions on sovereignty.
The EU's indiscriminate lawsuit against China in the WTO has also had an impact on the credibility of European countries to a great extent, and has added many unfavorable factors to the normal trade exchanges between China and the EU.
However, according to the global network, the European Union has recently suspended the filing of lawsuits against China at the WTO.
Some analysts believe that the reason why the EU suspended the lawsuit against China is not only knowing that it is impossible to win the lawsuit, but also sending a signal of "reconciliation" to China.
You must know that in terms of the vital interests of the EU, Lithuania's size and influence cannot be compared with China's at all. It is also impossible for the EU to have relations with China because of Lithuania and disregard its own interests, which will affect the economic and trade cooperation between China and the EU.
In addition, the EU's move also sent a signal to Lithuania that it is better to find a way to solve the trouble it causes, and the EU does not want to care about it.
Originally, the reason why neutral relations have developed to the point where they are today is the evil result of Lithuania's instigation by the United States and the West. What to do next, I still hope that Lithuania can think it through!
