Lithuania has recently made a new life, and the first thing that Prime Minister Rouhani came to power is not to engage in people's livelihoods, but to scream to us, urging China to restore normal diplomatic relations.
That's true, those who don't know thought we owed her money, a country that personally smashed the relationship between the two countries into the ice hole and disgusted all our diplomats to evacuate. Now you're acting like a creditor, trying to put pressure on us to go back.
What a joke in the world!
Three officers on fire.
Ruginene's background is unusual. Before becoming prime minister, he worked in the position of trade union chairman for eight months. He is a typical political novice with about zero diplomatic experience.
But such a novice actually became prime minister on August 26th!
Despite the fact that almost half of the people in the parliament did not vote in favour, and regardless of the outcome of the process, Ruzhenie is now the real leader of Lithuania.
Less than two days after taking office, the new prime minister couldn't wait to start her performance, repeatedly releasing signals through Lithuanian National Radio and BNS news agency, the core meaning of which was to restore relations with China.
The diplomatic team also beat the drum, announcing that it would delete the statement that China was listed as a major security challenge in the diplomatic outline, and also drew a cake that it would upgrade the diplomatic relations at the charge d'affaires level back to the ambassadorial level.
But the question she used was to urge these two words, in diplomatic terms, urge is the same as pressure, small Lithuania is now forcing us to re-establish diplomatic relations with him, it's really out of the spectrum!
The new Foreign Minister, Mr. Budris, also expressed this contradiction to the extreme, while saying that he hoped to normalize relations with China, while insisting that the responsibility for the deterioration of relations is not in Lithuania.
It seems that before they wake up from their dreams, the root of neutral relations to this point is that Lithuania has touched our red line on the Taiwan issue.
We have never been careless in this respect. If we want to restore relations, we must first correct the mistakes made on Taiwan-related issues with practical actions. Empty shouting and shirking responsibility simply won't work.
People go to Lithuania.
Now our relationship with Lithuania is almost cold, but in 2021, neutral relations are not counted as hot, but it is still over.
Lithuanian dairy products and beer sold well in the Chinese market, many companies rely on exports to China for days, as a result of which on November 18, the Lithuanian government approved the Taiwan authorities to establish the so-called Taiwan representative office in Lithuania, openly engaged in the international one in one.
We repeatedly warned and dissuaded them, but they turned a deaf ear. This is a naked political provocation and a direct stab in our core interests.In this case, don't blame us for being rude. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately reduced the diplomatic relations between the two countries to the lowest level of charge d'affaires.
The representative level is the lowest level in the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, below the ambassador level, and basically remains a communication function, although there is no interruption, but it is only one step away.
Immediately after the ambassador to Lithuania was recalled, the Chinese diplomatic mission in Lithuania was officially renamed the Agency of the People's Republic of China in the Republic of Lithuania. It was unthinkable that Lithuania was still on the brink of death, and last October’s parliamentary elections in Lithuania, where the right-wing Conservative government became the guardian government.
On November 29, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania suddenly listed three diplomats at our office in Lithuania as unwelcome people, demanding a deadline to leave.
Things have been pretty difficult here.In May this year, Lithuania played another big game, with the last diplomat in Lithuania being rejected by the Lithuanian authorities at the airport while preparing to enter.
For all kinds of reasons, our diplomats stayed at the airport for nine hours, not even the German weekly "Mirror" can watch it, the letter laughed at: Lithuania seems to have forgotten something, diplomats are not spies, but bridges of communication.
Since then, the Chinese representative office in Vilnius has been completely empty, and all Chinese consular operations in Lithuania have been temporarily transferred to the embassy in Latvia.
It was their own hands to remove all the communication bridges, and now paranoidly force us to shake hands with them apart from the depths of the world, this is where the confidence comes from!
Small country speculation.
Lithuania was once a part of the Soviet Union, and after the Second World War, it wrote its national narrative of resistance to Russia, the Soviet Union and communism.
This education centered on national hatred has led Lithuanians to a deep hostility to Russia and communism.This mentality allowed it to plunge into the arms of NATO immediately after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and built itself into a bridgehead between the United States and NATO against Russia.
But the problem is that Lithuania is too small. It is sandwiched between Europe and Russia, with a population of less than 3 million and a land area similar to Ningxia. It is said that weak countries have no diplomacy. This extreme insecurity makes Lithuania particularly eager to be accepted by the Western camp, so it is more extreme than the United States in many things.
When the US-China race began, Lithuania felt the opportunity came, despite the crazy provocation on the Taiwan issue, but also withdrew from the "17+1 cooperation mechanism" dominated by our country. This is done in order to be loyal to the Washington watch and to express his value as an eagle dog.
But it never expected that this iron plate in China was much harder than expected. After the relationship between the two countries cooled down, Lithuanian goods suddenly couldn't be cleared by Chinese customs. Dairy products and beer that once made a fortune in the Chinese market disappeared without a trace overnight.
In addition, we also turned on a red light for EU goods containing Lithuanian parts, and the German automobile industry followed suit, and the supply chain was once in chaos.
Now Lithuania is really embarrassed and has become a hot potato within the EU. Although Germany and France have verbally expressed their support, economic compensation has been delayed. Many member states regard Lithuania as a troublemaker who regards the overall situation.
Economically isolated, diplomatically embarrassed, the domestic people are even more complaining, and now 44% of Lithuanians believe that losing Chinese investment will put their economy in trouble.
Even politicians themselves realized that turning against us was the biggest failure. The Social Democratic Party won the parliamentary election last year, and its prime minister candidate Palutskas publicly stated at that time that it was a major diplomatic mistake to allow Taiwan Province to set up a representative office.
But after he took office and became prime minister, he immediately denied his previous statement and claimed that he would not repair relations with China at all costs. This kind of dishonesty has become the norm in Lithuanian politics.
conclusion
So now to look back at the screams in Rujine is all right, she faces not just the rubbish left after the bankruptcy.
