Sources said on Wednesday that Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis proposed to President Gitanas Nauseda to change the Chinese version of the representation name to refer to 'Taiwanese people' rather than Taiwan, in order to defuse a row with China. Lithuania has hints that it will change the name of the Taiwanese representative office in Vilnius. The Financial Times reported a similar story. The outside world is more inclined to believe that relevant discussions are taking place in the Lithuanian government, even though all sides denied it with haste. It is possible that Lithuania deliberately floated a trial balloon, playing the literal trick of taking two steps forward, one step back, to test China's willingness to accept the new name, and at the same time to gain international sympathy: Look, I'm going to change the name, but China is still picking on me. It must be pointed out that this is a political performance that offers the same old stuff with only a different label. Its goal is to create one China, one Taiwan on the global arena. This inferior cover-up can't deceive anyone. The situation has become increasingly unfavorable for Lithuanian authorities. It previously relied on Washington's endorsement to play a political scoundrel who blackmails a big power as a small country, and tried to drag the EU into the case. Lithuania's population and GDP account for less than 1 percent of the EU, but it wanted to kidnap the interests of the whole EU. This is an almost insane geopolitical madness. There is a huge wave of opposition in Lithuania, but people in other EU countries have expressed their discontent. The German business community has warned Lithuania to stop manipulating the Taiwan question. Lithuania has not benefited much, but has paid a heavy price for it, and it is feeling more and more pressure. If Vilnius wants to relax its relations with Beijing and stop its losses in time, it needs to take sincere and practical actions, hedging its previous provocations with a clear change. We think it must do at least the following: First, make the name, activities, nature and methods of the representative office named after Taiwanese return to the ones within the framework of Lithuania's commitments when it established diplomatic relations with China. Second, Vilnius should publicly apologize to China for its mistakes, declaring its ties with Taiwan as non-governmental. Thirdly, Lithuania needs to reaffirm the one-China principle and guarantee that it will never challenge this political bottom line in a credible manner. Fourth, Vilnius must take concrete actions in order to eliminate the negative impact on the EU and the international community. The matter of principle is non-negotiable. If the Lithuanian authorities don't correct its mistakes, no matter how many trial balloons it floats, it will lead to a worse situation for China-Lithuania relations. Washington and Vilnius' calculations of Washington and Vilnius, which try to influence other small countries to follow and spread One China, one Taiwan has failed. This country, which has nothing to do with cross-Straits affairs, has jumped into a huge whirlpool of its own doing, instigated by the US. The consequences it has endured are becoming a lesson for other countries. Lithuanian authorities should be aware that they are intended to play an exemplary role in the international community, but in the end will only serve as a typical case for China to ramp up prestige for the international community. Every time Lithuania is considering changing the name of the Taiwanese Representative Office, the Democratic Progressive Party DPP authority, and the US Department of State are some of the first to refute it. The DPP authority is more anxious, showing its guilt conscience and uneasiness, so that Lithuania doesn't change its position. They may continue to overtly fool Lithuania to be their pawn in the future. China will never give a half inch on issues of principle, no matter what tricks they play. We have never compromised in the face of a superpower like the US, how can it be possible to accept the political fraud of Lithuania, a weathercock? The farce created by Lithuanian authorities will prove to the international community that the One-China principle is a red line that can't be crossed. Anyone, whether it's Vilnius, Taipei or Washington, can't dance on the line.
