The Communist Chinese government is a global and domestic menace -- it's 21st century Nazi Germany.

In Zeiten, in denen die EU auf viele Proben gestellt ist, ist es mir wichtig ein Signal der Solidarität mit exponierten Staaten zu setzen. Deshalb reise ich heute nach Vilnius, auch um die Handelsprobleme mit China zu erörtern. Als Europäer*Innen stehen wir an der Seite Litauens.

Today I spoke with @VDombrovskis to reiterate our strong support for the EU & Lithuania in the face of economic coercion from the PRC. We will work together to address this behavior, and non-market excess capacity through the TTC and other avenues.

It was great to speak with Minister @GLandsbergis today. I expressed the U.S.' continuing strong support for Lithuania in the face of economic coercion from the PRC. We also discussed ways to strengthen our trans-Atlantic partnership and promote our jointly-held values. pic.twitter.com/eHcoib9TGH

华盛顿 — 美国贸易代表戴琪星期五表示，面对来自中国的“经济胁迫”，美国坚定支持立陶宛和欧盟。
美国贸易代表办公室7号在一份声明中说，戴琪是在与欧盟委员会执行副主席东布罗夫斯基斯（Valdis Dombrovskis）通话时说的这番话。
这是美国贸易代表戴琪本星期第二次表达美国支持立陶宛。戴琪本星期三与立陶宛外交部长兰斯伯格斯（Gabrielius Landsbergis）通话时曾表达了美国对受到中国经济胁迫的立陶宛的“坚定支持”，称美国致力于与欧盟及其成员国一道应对中国的外交和经济胁迫。
立陶宛是欧盟大家庭中的一个小国，去年与台湾商定互设代表处。根据双方的商定，立陶宛同意台湾在首都维尔纽斯设立以台湾为名的“驻立陶宛台湾代表处”。
台湾在世界上很多非邦交国都设有代表处，但是这些代表处都是以“台北”、而不是“台湾”为名义设立。北京认为，台湾是中国不可分割的一部分，始终把以“台湾”名义设立的代表处视为“台独”或“一中一台”的产物。
对于波罗的海小国立陶宛的举动，北京当局大为恼火。中国外交部长王毅指责立陶宛在国际上制造“一中一台”，对中国发起政治挑衅。作为报复，中国把与立陶宛的外交关系从大使级降为代办级，另一方面对立陶宛实施全面的经贸制裁与报复。
美国贸易代表办公室的声明说，“戴大使强调与欧盟及其成员国合作的重要性，通过包括美国-欧盟贸易技术委员会在内的各种管道应对胁迫外交和经济行为。”

As Lithuania faces pressure from China for drawing closer to Taiwan, Taiwanese are buying up Lithuanian goods and cheering Lithuanians in Taiwan. “It happens everywhere. I go buy a lunch box and when they hear I am from Lithuania, everyone starts clapping.”*****6UCQ0TNg10
