Foreign Minister @GLandsbergis on the @WTO case: Appreciate that major world economies, members of the #G7, stand united vis-à-vis #China’s economic coercion against #EU’s SingleMarket. And yes, these actions pose threat to the rules-based international trading system. pic.twitter.com/DP3I1P1KDz

据多位外交官和官员透露称，台湾、加拿大和日本已要求加入欧盟在世界贸易组织的诉讼，他们指控中国因与台北争议关系而封锁立陶宛商品。加入此案的新请求意味着，在美国和英国以及澳大利亚之前要求加入之后，世界七国集团发达经济体的所有成员都对欧盟的世贸诉讼案子表示支持。
据一位直接了解此案的欧洲高级官员说，“这三方今天通知我们，他们将加入欧盟的 WTO 案。”
加拿大全球事务部后来证实了加入的请求，并在一份声明中说：“加拿大反对经济胁迫，并与志同道合的伙伴站在一起，支持以世界贸易组织为核心的基于规则的国际贸易。” 据该声明补充说：“加拿大对中国最近对立陶宛和欧盟含有立陶宛内容的商品和服务采取的贸易行动感到担忧，这可能会破坏以规则为基础的国际贸易体系及其机构。”
加入此案的新请求意味着，在美国和英国以及澳大利亚之前要求加入之后，所谓的七国集团发达经济体的所有成员都对欧盟的案子表示支持。据欧盟委员会称，这也是在北京通过暂停从立陶宛进口牛肉、乳制品和酒精进一步升级贸易争端之后，没有说明做出这一决定的理由，例如健康问题。欧盟委员会发言人表示，欧盟执委“目前正在与立陶宛当局保持联系”，了解中国的最新贸易举措。
英国国际贸易大臣安妮-玛丽•特里威廉（Anne-Marie Trevelyan）2月7日发表推文说，“我们支持我们的盟友们、立陶宛以及欧盟，一道抵抗中国对立陶宛实施的胁迫性贸易行为。因此，我们要求作为第三方加入欧盟在世界组织针对这些贸易行为提出的申诉，以确保我们共同对付经济胁迫行为。”
欧盟今年1月27日针对中国在贸易上打压立陶宛的行为告上世贸。欧盟委员会执行副主席、贸易专员东布罗夫斯基（Valdis Dombrovskis）指出，这是审慎评估后的举措，欧盟认为目前除了寻求WTO解决双边争端之外，别无他法。
中国公开否认针对立陶宛采取了任何不符合世贸组织规定的贸易限制，但是北京曾扬言立陶宛会因为“违反一个中国政策”而付出代价。
