Although Lithuania should have talked to the EU before and be aware of the consequences and should have considered “retaliation”, I am behind this country or as our German foreign minister said:
> Baerbock added that “We as Europeans stand in solidarity at Lithuania’s side.”
Nothing to add. Maybe I will buy some bottles of rum. 🙂
China should really consider not acting like an attack dog at the slightest provocations. It is really not worth it to erode your reputation and soft power like that. If you want to be respected and seen as a world leader, going around and biting everyone is the last thing you want to do.
US laughing all the way to the bank
Lithuania is trying to get attention. Brat!
France like all other EU countries depend on the supply chain of china. Let them try to stop china; they will fail because money is king in western countries.
We can’t let the block be dragged into mess like this by one small country which acted on it’s own. What if tomorrow Malta start to shit on USA? This is silly. Either have a coherent and agreed foreign policy, either don’t pretend we’re the same.
>As is typical in such cases, China has not officially announced the measures over Lithuania, which are being reported by European companies.
Fucking cowards, the CCP has no interest in cooperation and mutual prosperity, they only care for dominance. They are the biggest threat to global stability.
There is nothing “anti-China” about opposing authoritarian bullying and coercion. China called a US law that forces US listed Chinese companies to follow US law, like every other company, “anti-China”. The law is country agnostic, and every other country on the planet is already complaint.
Thank you France! I hope other countries follow the example.
Thank you, France !
Help is very much appreciated.
To those who say that Lithuania is dragging the EU to conflict with China, I must disagree. It is the other way around.
Lithuania can take a direct economic hit from China, and has prepared for it in anticipation. The EU would not need to interfere if that was it.
However, China has dragged the EU into action by imposing secondary sanctions on all EU companies that deal with Lithuania in any way, which is an unprecedented and an unexpected move by China, to which the EU must respond.
In the long term I think that this is a mistake by China.
As the saying goes “one often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.”
It must be very sure that France will help Lithuania against China because it is said by an anonymous French government official.
Good job
It’s all Xi’s fault. He should attack Taiwan immediately
This is fantastic, go France!!!
I’ll believe it when I see it. When it comes to China, the world often flip-flops.
