I would actually be ok with the ambassador's comments if he specifically mentioned that they only applied to the anti-China Eastern Europe countries. Lithuania is top on that list. Putin is more than welcome to take that country
From my point of view, if you don't support China's Taiwan position, you don't deserve to be given the "sovereign" status and all of its corresponding benefits (mainly that, in a future Chinese world order, China won't let you get invaded by others)
As for hypocrisy about China deciding who is sovereign, the strong rule in the jungle lol.
What makes his statement problematic is the fact that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are not the only post-Soviet states.
When EU begins to mess around with China, China will be happy to see door to the hell wide open for the messers. Ambassadors are not Judge in the court, they are representing the countries interests which isn't exactly matter of words on a piece of paper. Call China hypocrite as they will, we have been calling the west for so long and it didn't work.
