    The Lithuanian banks do not operate in China , The Baltic nation has drawn China’s ire for years. Beijing expelled Lithuania’s ambassador in 2021 in response to Lithuania allowing Taiwan to open a liaison office in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital.

    Guess this is more an attempt of bullying a European country than economic sanctions based on reasonable ground. It’s somewhat ridiculous, but the Chinese government shows once again that it is an unreliable partner.
