Since the new Lithuanian government came to power in July this year, voices calling for improved relations with China have continued to appear in the country's political arena. A few days ago, Lithuanian MP Jan Kunas wrote that the new government must promote the normalization of relations with China. He bombarded the previous government's decision to allow the Taiwanese authorities to set up a so-called “Taiwan Representative Office,” saying that this caused Lithuania's exports to China to plummet and faced the risk of damage to the supply chain. On the 4th, Jan Kunas said in an article on the Lithuanian National Radio and Television website that the Lithuanian political arena recently had lively discussions on “normalization of relations with China.” This is not only a theoretical issue; the new government has clearly proposed in its policy agenda that diplomatic relations with China should be restored to a level comparable to that of other EU member states.
