Lithuania's "trial balloon" to reverse course
Lithuania's "trial balloon" to reverse course
First, Make the name, activities, nature and methods of the representative office named after "Taiwanese" return to the ones within the framework of Lithuania's commitments when it established diplomatic relations with China.
Second, Vilnius should publicly apologize to China for its prior mistakes, declaring its ties with Taiwan as non-governmental.
Third, Lithuania needs to reaffirm the one-China principle and guarantee that it will never challenge this political bottom line in a credible manner.
Fourth, Vilnius has to take concrete actions to eliminate the malicious impact on the EU and the international community.
