The European Union (EU) ought to cancel an upcoming meeting with China, intended to tame bilateral tensions, unless the latter states a clear stand on the Russia-Ukraine war, a senior Lithuanian official said on March 16.

“It is the time to show China that we mean business—that they cannot expect to occupy this ambiguous role, on one hand supporting Russia, on one hand using trading opportunities with the West—European Union, and expect no consequences,” Lithuanian vice foreign minister Mantas Adomenas told Reuters.
