The U.S. State Department and some members of Congress on Aug. 10 voiced support for Lithuania after the Chinese regime threw a diplomatic tantrum over the Baltic nation’s decision to allow Taiwan to open an office in Vilnius under its own name.
On Aug. 10, China’s foreign ministry recalled its ambassador to Lithuania and demanded it recall its ambassador to China. The ministry said the Baltic nation “brazenly violates” the ties between China and Lithuania, and warned that there would be “potential consequences” if the Taiwan office were indeed opened.
