Lithuania expelled three staff members of China’s representative office in the country on Nov. 29, citing violations of international and Lithuanian law.

The Lithuania Foreign Ministry did not provide details of the violations but said the three non-accredited Chinese staff members had been declared persona non grata for behavior that was incompatible with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations and other principles and practices of both international and Lithuanian law.
