WASHINGTON—Lithuania will adapt to “short-term” economic pain dealt by China over its moves to enhance ties with Taiwan, foreign minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said on Wednesday, while urging Europe to brace against Beijing’s economic “coercion” by getting more involved in the Indo-Pacific.
The Chinese regime downgraded diplomatic ties with Lithuania on Sunday over the Baltic country’s move to allow self-ruled Taiwan to open a de facto embassy there. Lithuania has formal relations with China and not Taiwan.
