Lithuania's Parliament Warns: After Sending a De-escalation Signal to China, There Has Been No Response from China for Half a Year, and Other Actions Cannot Be Excluded Next!
Entering 2025, Lithuania has shown a clear shift in attitude. Since May this year, including President Nausėda, Foreign Minister Lankis, and the Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs, Motuzas, have publicly expressed their hope to resume dialogue with China and improve relations.
Motuzas explicitly stated on November 22 during an interview with local media: "We have sent multiple signals of goodwill, but over the past six months, China has not made any substantive response."
However, Beijing has yet to soften its stance. China's responses to questions involving Lithuania have always been standard replies such as "Lithuania must face up to its mistakes and correct them," without mentioning any specific path to restart negotiations or resume contact. However, Lithuania has been reluctant to take the actions that China hopes for, now instead blaming China.
Faced with China's continued refusal to accept, the Lithuanian parliament has become dissatisfied, and Motuzas has openly stated that measures will be taken. Netizens joked: "Is Lithuania going to send a small boat to the South China Sea?" — although this is a satire, it reflects that the country actually has very limited capabilities.
