The small country to the west has recently set off a lot of presidential election turmoil, and Lithuania's President Nauseda and Prime Minister Shimonit are currently in a fierce competitive election, as a semi-presidential country, Nauseda is currently committed to becoming an executive after the president and the prime minister, and Shimonit is also trying to keep his prime ministership.

However, unlike in the past, the main issue of this Lithuanian election campaign revolves around whether to continue to break with China and continue to maintain relations with Taiwan, on this issue, as president, Nauseda believes that the establishment of diplomatic relations with Taiwan is too reckless and impulsive, and he accuses Lithuania of major dereliction of duty in dealing with the Taiwan issue, and does not specifically refer to Taiwan as Taipei, which has also led to the current embarrassing political situation in Lithuania.
The contender, Simonit, disagrees with Nauseda and has accused him on several occasions of ignoring the interests of the country.
But the funny thing is that when the first round of the presidential vote was announced, it was the accused Nauseda who won the majority of votes, as many as 40 percent, while Simonit, who swore that he considered the interests of the country, only had an embarrassing 20 percent of the votes.
Although neither of them received a majority of the votes. But Nauseda won more votes in comparison, which in fact represents a mainstream voice in Lithuania at the moment, which is to break relations with China and resume diplomacy.
As a small country, Lithuania's economic system is very homogeneous and weak. After the so-called establishment of diplomatic relations between Lithuania and Taiwan, the mainland announced the suspension of economic cooperation with Lithuania.
After all, no matter how you say it, it is impossible for Taiwan to be compared with the mainland in terms of size, and without the mainland, which is a stable economic source, the people of Lithuania are naturally 10,000 unwilling.
If Shimonite does not adjust his manifesto in time, then in the next presidential election, it is likely to be overtaken by Nauseda and lose the position of prime minister.
But to be honest, for Lithuania, even if Nauseda's beautiful words are good, there is no great value of great significance, everyone knows that the best routine of politicians is deception, even if Nauseda is said well, it is not as neat as a practical action, but Nauseda has not been put into action, just a set of words.
Therefore, there is reason to believe that Nauseda's claim may only be used to gain popular support and thus win the prime minister's throne.
However, in any case, this represents the effect and effect of the mainland's foreign policy, and the mainstream voice of the whole Lithuania is now demanding peace with China, so as to restore Lithuania's economic exports.
Nauseda, who caters to this layer of public opinion, has naturally gained a lot of support, but this must be based on the promise of feasibility, if Nauseda only plays a set of games on the surface and a set on the back, then the final result will inevitably be abandoned by the people of Lithuania.
For Lithuania, sticking to its own foreign policy and walking on the right path is the most important consideration for the survival and development of such a small country, if it cannot find its own position and participate in the competition between major powers, in the end it can only become a tool of the great powers, which can be easily crushed and become the torrent of the times.
In this regard, the Philippines is a good example, as a pawn of the United States to constantly provoke the mainland, the final result must be unbearable for the Philippines, but now Lithuania still has room to turn back, and it depends on whether he is willing to turn back in time.
