China’s trade attack on Lithuania exposes EU’s powerlessness. Companies from several EU countries that depend on Lithuanian supply chains are now finding they face blockades at Chinese ports.

So what.
Well, hopefully those companies realize that relying on China might not be the smartest thing.
Surely Lithuania would never want to supply businesses that trade with a country intent on annexing Taiwan? To do otherwise would be hypocrisy.
I am (pleasantly) surprised that Lithuania hasn’t budged at all. That country has larger balls than all of Western Europe put together.
Yeah European leaders now have to choose explicitly between EU member countries and China.
Will the EU throw an EU country under the bus to appease China?
If so the EU is over.
This might also be a sign of how strong China has become. Not only of the EUs weakness.
That’s harsh
i want to see the eu doing some fuckery back at china
how about we make it that all exports to china which they urgently need go through lithuanian shipping or middle companies on paper somehow? then china slows or blocks the stuff they themselves actually need 💩
