Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 28th that the so-called Chinese side "forced" the personnel of the Lithuanian Embassy in China is pure slander. Even if Lithuania ignores right and wrong and reverses black and white, it can not cover up its repeated wrong acts. A reporter asked: the British economist magazine published an article saying that China unilaterally announced that it would downgrade its neutral diplomatic relations to the agency level, asked legislators to hand in their identity documents in China, change their diplomatic mission status, and force the legislators to remove the personnel of the Embassy in China. The legislators could not ensure the diplomatic status of the personnel of the Embassy in China, nor did they accept the downgrade of the Embassy in China, We can only choose to let all diplomats and their families leave China. What is China's comment on this? Zhao Lijian said that the so-called Chinese side "forced" the personnel of the Lithuanian Embassy in China is pure slander. Lithuania is treacherous and blatantly creates "one China, one Taiwan" internationally, which seriously damages China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity and destroys the political foundation on which China relies to establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level. In order to safeguard its core interests and the one China principle, which is the basic criterion of international relations, it is entirely legitimate and reasonable for China to lower the diplomatic relations between the two countries to the level of agent. He said that when the neutral relationship has been reduced to the level of agent, China requires Lithuania's diplomatic institutions in China to re apply for the identity documents of diplomats and administrative and technical personnel. This is a normal procedure for China to do a good job in the service and management of missions in China, in line with relevant international law and international practice, and does not affect the normal performance of duties and life of Lithuanian diplomats in China. At the same time, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on diplomatic relations, China guarantees the security and legitimate rights of all diplomatic institutions in China and the normal work of diplomatic institutions in China, including Lithuania. Zhao Lijian said that the Lithuanian government suddenly arranged for all diplomatic personnel stationed in China to leave without notifying the Chinese side in advance, and then spread false information in an attempt to transfer contradictions. The Chinese side expresses its firm opposition to this. "Even if Lithuania ignores right and wrong and confuses black and white, it can not cover up its repeated wrong acts. We believe that the international community can adhere to an objective and fair position and will not listen to one another." (outlook new era)
