中方?jīng)Q定將中立兩國外交關系降為代辦級

On Nov 18, Lithuania, in disregard of China's strong protest and repeated representations, allowed the Taiwan authorities to set up a "Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania".

11月18日，立陶宛不顧中方嚴正抗議和反復交涉，允許臺灣當局設立"駐立陶宛臺灣代表處"。

This act openly creates the false impression of "one China, one Taiwan" in the world, renounces the political commitment made by Lithuania in the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs.

此舉公然在國際上制造"一中一臺"，背棄立方在兩國建交公報中所作政治承諾，損害中國主權和領土完整，粗暴干涉中國內政。

The Chinese side expresses its strong indignation and protest against this move, and decides to downgrade its diplomatic relations with Lithuania to the chargé d’affaires level.

中方對此表示強烈不滿和嚴正抗議，決定將中立兩國外交關系降為代辦級。
