China again threatens Lithuania – DW – 14.11.2022

Konstantin Eggert

November 14, 2022

Taiwan's decision to invest in Lithuanian high-tech has angered Beijing and exacerbated China's conflict with one of Europe's most staunch allies.

https://p.dw.com/p/4JUJD

10 million euros is not a very large sum when it comes to investments. Even for such a small country as Lithuania. And it is precisely because of this amount that last week the conflict of the Baltic state with a population of 2.8 million people with almost one and a half billion people China entered a new round.

10 million euros awarded to the Lithuanian company Teltonika by the Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan's leading technology center. The funds will go to the development of semiconductor production in Lithuania. Taiwan will also provide 24 scholarships to train Lithuanian specialists in this field. Almost simultaneously, the Lithuanian government announced the opening of a trade office in Taipei.

Forbidden word "Taiwan"

The representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry demanded that Vilnius "strictly adhere to the principle of "one China" (that is, officially recognize Taiwan as a province of China. - Rev. ) and "carefully approach everything related to Taiwan and, in all seriousness, maintain the political foundations of bilateral relations." Such a threatening tone has become the norm for Beijing since the Chinese regime downgraded diplomatic relations with Lithuania in 2021.

This happened in response to Lithuania's withdrawal from the 17+1 format, a China-initiated platform for Beijing's dialogue with the Baltic countries, Central Europe and the Balkan Peninsula. At the same time, it was decided to open a representative office of Taiwan in Vilnius, and the only one in the world under this name.

The Republic of China - this is the official name of Taiwan - is recognized only by 13 states of the world plus the Vatican. The rest, including Lithuania, formally adhere to the "one China" principle. Taiwan's missions (in fact, embassies) operate in dozens of states, but all of them, so as not to anger Beijing, are called the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office. " Only in Vilnius is the sign at the entrance to the representative office bearing the word "Taiwan".

How Beijing and Vilnius quarreled

Lithuania's withdrawal from the 17+1 format was the result of a deterioration in bilateral relations that lasted for several years. Among its reasons are Lithuania's refusal to transfer to China (in fact, to sell) the country's only port - Klaipeda, and the refusal to cooperate with the Chinese giant Huawei in the field of 5G technology, and the outrage caused in Lithuania by the Chinese embassy's attempt to interfere with the 2019 Cathedral Square in Vilnius demonstrations in support of Hong Kong. Starting from 2019The Lithuanian State Security Department explicitly calls China a threat to national security. Five years ago, only Russia was mentioned in this capacity.

Taiwan's representative in Lithuania, Eric Huang, asked DW to comment on the new round of tension in bilateral relations, said, "Taiwan has the right to decide how to cooperate with our good friends like Lithuania. Pressure and threats will not force us to change policy." Huang also said that other bilateral investment projects in the field of semiconductor, laser and other technologies are under consideration by the Export-Import Bank of Taiwan and its subsidiary, which is responsible for cooperation with the Central European and Baltic countries.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Gabrielius Landsbergis, answering written questions from DW, indicated that the 10 millionth project with Teltonika is the first, but not the last.

"We are looking forward to starting cooperation in the field of microcircuits and related industries. Economic cooperation and joint projects are important not only for Lithuania, but also for the economic strength of all of Europe and Taiwan," Landsbergis wrote. "We remain committed to a pan-European approach to China - only in this way can we ensure the resilience of European supply chains and the potential of Europe. Big or small, we are all global players. "

The European Union supports Lithuania

The mention of the "common European approach" is not accidental. It was the European Union that came to the defense of Lithuania when Beijing announced a trade boycott to the country in 2021. For example, the Beijing regime tried to put pressure on the German tire and electronics manufacturer Continental. The Chinese government threatened the firm to stop buying products from its plant in Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania.

The EU, used by the United States, Britain, Canada and Taiwan, filed a complaint against China with the World Trade Organization. “We must be able to resist any harmful authoritarian influences in all areas and be able to defend the principles and smooth functioning of the EU single market,” Gabrielius Landsbergis noted in a response to DW. . - Rev. ) will allow the EU to better prepare for any illegal pressure from outside actors."

Lithuania will not give in to Chinese pressure

Moreover, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has made the question of who and where produces semiconductors strategically important for the West. was one of the first steps taken by the US and the EU Taiwan is one of the world leaders in this market and the Lithuanian government does not want to miss the chance to become an important player here.

In Vilnius, the confrontation with Beijing has become a topic of heated internal political discussion. But neither the current government nor the opposition, if it comes to power in the next elections in 2024, is likely to change the current policy. First, for the political class and society in Lithuania, opposition to authoritarian regimes is a common theme that is outside the scope of party politics. The debate here will rather be about how best to resist Russia and China, and not whether to resist at all.

Secondly, the real economic damage from the Chinese boycott was not very great for Lithuania. Taiwanese investments in high-tech can bring real returns, especially in the case of establishing the production of semiconductors and microchips.
