China deletes Lithuania from customs registry over Taiwan ties

[northeast]

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Lithuania has reportedly been removed from China's custom's registry in retaliation for warming ties with Taiwan, leaving many Lithuanian goods stranded at sea.

On Thursday (Dec. 2), 15min.lt cited a Lithuanian wood exporter as saying their company's products were barred from entering Shanghai port because Lithuania is no longer in the computer system. Vidmantas Janulevicius, president of the Lithuanian Confederation of Industrialists, told the news agency that “Lithuania has been crossed out ... it seems that there's no such country in China's customs system."

This means that firms such as the wood exporter, which has 300 containers sailing to China, now have their products floating in limbo. The Lithuanian Foreign Ministry confirmed with the Baltic News Service (BNS) that the country's exporters have encountered problems exporting goods to the communist country.


The ministry said it has received reports about "possible disruptions for Lithuanian production in China" and has contacted Lithuanian companies. It is also gathering information from Chinese officials about the new restrictions, reported the Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT). It added that it is also communicating with the European Commission "about a reaction on the EU level."

Beijing has sought to punish Lithuania for allowing Taiwan to set up a representative office in Vilnius, while also planning to open a representative office of its own in Taiwan next year. On Nov. 21, China downgraded diplomatic ties with Lithuania by demoting the Baltic country's ambassador in Beijing to the position of charge d’affaires.

Also, according to the Lithuania-China Trade Association, although exports of agricultural, forestry, and animal husbandry goods have been impacted by Chinese restrictions, high-tech products in areas such as biotechnology have been largely unaffected.

Finally there is a country that will prove if its citizens can survive with zero made-in-China. I know many people are curious about that. Let's wait and see.
I hope Lithuania will not buy Chinese goods from other counties. Please don't ruin the experiment.

Excellent

Personally I despise all 3 Baltic states. They are all anti-Russian and anti-Chinese.

Taiwan has representative offices in almost every country. It's in India as well. Why so reaction on Lithuania though? Cos they are small and can be bullied easily?

 

[Globenim]

Considering the media mouthpiece publishing it and their source are on the leash and payroll of the U.S. terror regime, empirically its safer to say its just another lie that will be debunked as usual in the next days and then forgotten after a week or something completely different happend that they are trying to spin and overblow to make China look aggressive in their propaganda. Wait for an official Chinese statement.

Oh, no. This is just for exports from Lithuania. They'll still keep importing from China.

What China imports from them are like farm products, lumber and such, i.e. contents of zero tech like most imports from EU, these can easily be replaced by other sources.

Lithuania is asking EU for help but I doubt EU or more specifically EU boss aka Germany is willing to help other than lip service. China is not just the largest single-country car market for them but disproportionately important to their super-lucrative car brands. I'm perfectly sure China transportation won't collapse if Mercedes or Porsche start disappearing, but in that scenario I can't be sure what's gonna happen to Germany GDP, current account balance and even Euro exchange rate.

These are called "Taipei Economic & Cultural Representative Office", the difference is subtile yet important. It's another prodding of the Chinese bottom line.

Your usual clown tripe spew without even bothering to do basic research.

Lithuania Appeals to EU as China Feud Expands to Trade Dispute

"Lithuania’s dispute with China escalated after local media reported that goods from some of its companies were barred from entering Chinese ports.

Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis described the move as “unannounced sanctions” on Friday and said Lithuania will seek assistance from the European Commission next week to solve the issue. It’s “unprecedented when one EU member state is being partially sanctioned,” he said."



Everybody here was cheering that Trump was alienating Europe on China's behalf.
We now see Xi is doing the same thing on the US's behalf.

So you got stuck with throwing a selfdefeating tantrum everytime you are tripped off by someone calling out your echochamber of U.S. regime propaganda mouthpieces and the mundane and intelligence insulting garbage they spew, instead of wasting their breath entertaining your lot with arguments and courtesy in face of glaring bad faith and disrespect? Enjoy that corner you pushed yourself in.

But uttering the words "basic research" as you pull out Bloomberg headlines Google shoved into your drooling face, Bloomberg out of all the infamous U.S. propaganda BS echoing mouthpieces one could chose, and then citing Bloomberg literally just echoing the exact same story from the exact same source, as if that would justify your tantrum over the mere suggestion that this entire story could be the usual concocted and spun U.S. propaganda BS, since its all U.S. puppets talking to U.S. puppets making vague claims about claims that no one knows who made, if they were actually ever made, following the same U.S. propaganda template we heard a million times before, only for the story to be debunked and forgotten.

Now thats thats what you call doubling down on your BS.

No, I'm saying you just type your typical long winded scripted responses to every damn post without even doing a minimal checking of the facts.

Did you even bother looking to see if the Lithuanian Government has acknowledged an issue...the answer is the usual "No". But you took the time to write your typical "lying media" rant.

Difference is China expects nothing from the EU except reciprocity, but US expects allegiance. That means no need to play nice as hard power is what really matters here. It is give and take.

but US wants allegiance which is far more fickle. Allegiance means subsuming their interests to yours.
