China Radio International – Bathed on the Baltic Sea, Lithuania is a country with an area of ​​more than 60 thousand km and a population of less than three million. Throughout this year, the country provoked China in collusion with the Taiwanese authorities, and ended up agreeing to Taiwan’s request to set up a so-called “representative office” in its capital, Vilnius. This action violates the international community’s “one China” standard, and seriously undermines China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

In response, the Chinese government decided to withdraw its ambassador from that country, in a rare diplomatic gesture in the history of New China, and foreign media commented that “China reflects its indignation.”

Lithuania, whose national security depends largely on the United States, has long turned to the Taiwan issue since current US President Joe Biden took office, in an effort to bolster its weight in US strategy toward China and China, and has gained more attention from Americans. However, given the fact that the strategic priority of the United States is in the Indo-Pacific region, Lithuania’s efforts will be in vain.

At the moment, the most important thing for Lithuania is to understand the meaning of China’s withdrawal of its ambassador from the country, as well as to realize that the principle of “One China” will always form its political basis for the development of bilateral relations with others. states, it is also a red line that can never be crossed.
