Very arrogant! Lithuania just made a statement to us, saying that it wants to improve relations, but turned around and sent people to "visit" Taiwan! On February 2nd, according to the Russian Sputnik news agency, Vincas Pavalonis, vice-chair of the Lithuanian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, led eight members from seven European countries to "visit" Taiwan. Before this, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda had stated that he was willing to visit China for negotiations to restore bilateral relations, hoping that China would first show goodwill and make concessions.
Evidently, Lithuania's actions are particularly arrogant. On one hand, after ruining relations with us, Lithuania is facing significant pressure domestically, and its hesitant statements are actually hoping we give it a way out. On the other hand, Lithuania seems to be playing the "Taiwan card," implying that if we don't make concessions, Lithuania has the ability to make China uncomfortable, leaving us to decide how to respond.
What do we think about Lithuania's actions? In one word, it shows no remorse and continues to provoke; the result will only be that it will inevitably be left aside by us. As a small country, it fails to position itself correctly and still thinks it has leverage, completely unaware of its own worth. Lithuania's exports to China have plummeted by over 90%, and core industries such as lasers, wood, and cheese are almost zero. Lithuania is willing to bear the pressure, and our attitude is: please go ahead. Expecting us to give Lithuania a way out is nothing more than a dream.
