After The Withdrawal of the Chinese ambassador, Lithuania is bracing for the consequences! A large number of goods have no place to sell, the cubic state again

Lithuanian exporters have complained that China no longer buys cheese, grain and timber from The country after China recalled its ambassador, one of the country's biggest news portals reported under the headline "China no longer buys Lithuanian products" on August 23. Big Chinese timber traders are reportedly planning to leave Lithuania. Lithuanian milk processors have suspended exports to China, and China has stopped buying Lithuanian grain

Mr. Zaretskis, general manager of a Lithuanian timber trading company, said 99 percent of its goods were sold to China, and sales have now stopped. Mr Zaretzkis has planned to move his company out of Lithuania. "The Chinese don't want to see Lithuanian companies anywhere now," the businessman complains. Meanwhile, Bertasius, the general manager of a Lithuanian milk processing plant, does not hide his disappointment. If the Lithuanian government used to encourage entrepreneurs to build trade ties with China, he says, everything it is doing now is the opposite.

Lithuania is China's largest trading partner among the three Baltic States, while China is Lithuania's largest trading partner in Asia, and agriculture is one of the most important areas of bilateral cooperation, according to official information from China's Ministry of Commerce. Since 2017, the two countries have signed protocols on the export of frozen beef, silage, aquatic products and wheat to China.

At the same time as exports to China were blocked, new Lithuanian rumours began to circulate on the Internet abroad. According to media reports, in August, a rumor about Lithuania was widely spread: "Please tell my Friends in Hong Kong: No matter whether you have a visa or passport, as long as you arrive in Lithuania, the Lithuanian government will unconditionally accept you, provide you with accommodation and help you go to other EU countries, or even Lithuania. You have Hong Kong friends who want to run without money and no way can tell them this news!"

In a reply to foreign media, a spokesman for Lithuania's Immigration Ministry said the claim was wrong and Hong Kong people coming to Lithuania must comply with EU regulations. Lithuania will also not provide housing for Hong Kong migrants or help them travel to other EU countries. In 2020, some Lithuanian parliamentarians did draft a resolution proposing to grant asylum to "Hong Kong people who may face persecution and repression in China," according to a report on the website of Lithuania's state radio television on Monday. However, the resolution did not lead to any actual policies. The report also noted that Lithuania's relations with China are strained over its "support for Taiwan".
