Setting up a Lithuanian Representative Office in Taiwan Deteriorates the China-Lithuania Relation and Recalls Each Other’s Ambassadors

Taiwan will set up “The Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania”, the first Taiwanese representative office in European countries.

Lithuania originally has diplomatic relations with China. Therefore, this is the first time for Taiwan to set up a representative office in a country that already has relations with China. China then immediately recalls the ambassadors in Lithuania for protest. It is the first time for China recalling their ambassadors from European countries since the European Union establishment in 1993. China has also requested for recalling the ambassadors of Lithuania in China.
