China has lashed out at the United States over its support for the European nation of Lithuania in its feud with Beijing over relations with Taiwan
BEIJING -- China lashed out at the United States on Thursday over its support for the European nation of Lithuania in its feud with Beijing over relations with Taiwan.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said Washington was using the Baltic state to “use Taiwan to contain China.”
“The U.S. side has defended Lithuania’s erroneous act of creating ‘one China, one Taiwan,' and attempted to put together a small clique condoning the Taiwan independence forces," Wang said at a daily briefing.
His remarks came after the top U.S. and German diplomats on Wednesday said Chinese pressure against Lithuania was unwarranted.
