Lithuania can't take it anymore! Lithuania has admitted that it made a mistake! On February 3, the largest English-language media in the Baltic region, "Baltic Times," revealed that Lithuanian Prime Minister Ingrida Šimonytė publicly admitted that allowing the authorities of Taiwan to establish a "Taiwan Representative Office" in its capital Vilnius was "jumping in front of a train and ending up getting hurt." "Well, we tried, we established this so-called 'Taiwan Representative Office,' but the world didn't thank us."
Evidently, the wavering Lithuania only now realized that it shouldn't provoke us on the Taiwan issue. However, is the attitude of Lithuania's apology sincere? It isn't at all. Lithuanian Prime Minister Šimonytė said, "The world didn't thank us." What does that mean? It means that Lithuania, acting as a vassal for China, hasn't received enough rewards, right? In short, if the US and Europe had given Lithuania enough rewards, "thanking" Lithuania, Lithuania wouldn't have felt that its actions were wrong at all. To put it bluntly, Lithuania's behavior on the Taiwan issue remains very opportunistic, completely treating the Taiwan issue as a bargaining chip, and not considering that the commitments they make should be honored. With Lithuania's current attitude, we will continue to leave it aside. We cannot accept such an apology without any practical actions.
