The US side said it supported Lithuania's development of relations with Taiwan, which was refuted by the Chinese embassy

On August 12, the Chinese Embassy in the United States published on its official website "the spokesman of the Chinese Embassy in the United States answered reporters' questions on the US remarks related to Taiwan":

Q: on August 10, US State Department spokesman price said on twitter that the US side supports Lithuania and other European allies in developing relations with Taiwan, condemns China's recall of its ambassador to Lithuania and demands that the legislative government recall its ambassador to China. What's your comment on this?

A: the Lithuanian government allows the Taiwan authorities to set up "representative offices" in the name of "Taiwan" to develop official substantive relations with the Taiwan authorities, which flagrantly violates the spirit of the communiqu é on the establishment of diplomatic relations between neutral countries, seriously damages China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and seriously violates the one China principle recognized by the international community. As a sovereign state, China has the right and should make a legitimate and reasonable response. The US side has no right to dictate or gossip. We urge the US side to earnestly abide by the three Sino US joint communiques, abide by the one China principle and safeguard the political foundation of China US relations.

The more than 1.4 billion Chinese people will never agree to any country that dares to challenge China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity“ "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and any attempt to support "Taiwan independence" and split China will never succeed.
