“不要对我们的意志、我们的决心或我们的承诺心存幻想。” 立陶宛虽小,挑战它就是挑战整个自由世界。
立陶宛今年早些时候决定退出中国与该地区国家之间的17+1合作论坛,然后又允许台湾代表处开业,这已经让中国政府感到非常愤怒,甚至驱逐了该国驻北京的大使作为报复。
立陶宛国会外交委员会主席帕维里欧尼斯在华盛顿智库“欧洲政策分析中心”举办的“美国、亚洲与欧洲:迈向共同的民主议程”视讯研讨会,表示“台湾团结所有人”。他说,要找到将所有欧洲人、美洲人与全世界其他所有爱好自由的国家团结在一起的议题十分困难,但要找到产生分歧的议题却有很多,但台湾让大家团结在一起。

There's nothing "glorious" about annexing peaceful democracies by force, Mr Xi. The future of Taiwan must be decided by the people of Taiwan, not the Chinese Communist Party. Lithuania supports @iingwen #TaiwanIsNotChina

The US will stand up for those who stand up for democracy & freedom. Neither China nor any other authoritarian regime should “harbor any illusions” about our will, our determination or our commitment to our friends, partners & allies. Threats & intimidation will not be tolerated. *****Z4SnbqDmTJ

We stand with our Ally Lithuania and condemn the People's Republic of China's recent retaliatory actions recalling their ambassador in Vilnius and demanding Lithuania recall its ambassador in Beijing. The U.S. supports our European partners as they develop ties with Taiwan.
