U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with Lithuania’s foreign minister on Aug. 22 and agreed on “bilateral coordinated action” to help the country withstand pressure from China over its decision to develop ties with Taiwan, Lithuania said.
The Chinese regime on Aug. 10 demanded that Lithuania withdraw its ambassador in Beijing and said it would recall China’s envoy to Vilnius in a row over the Baltic state allowing Chinese-claimed Taiwan to open a de facto embassy there using its own name.
