China rebukes Lithuania’s ‘wrong act’ over Taiwan

VILNIUS: China denounced Lithuania’s wrong act of allowing the Taiwan authorities to set up a “Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania,” and urged the country to refrain from going further down the wrong path over the Taiwan question.

The one-China principle is a universally recognised norm governing international relations and the consensus of the international community, and is the political foundation for China to develop bilateral relations with other countries, Qu Baihua, acting charge d’affaires of the Chinese Office of Charge d’Affaires in Lithuania, told reporters on Wednesday.
