Lithuania After irritating China, its products have been subject to various restrictions in the Chinese market. The Lithuanian government has tried its best to deal with foreign trade transactions, and now it is in dire straits.
After Lithuania's beer Wolf Wolf was boycotted by the Chinese market, its rum was also boycotted. At this time, the Taiwan authorities "stepped forward" for Lithuania and prepared to purchase rum from Lithuania that was rejected by the mainland.
According to Taiwan media reports, on January 3, Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Company publicly stated that they would "take over" Lithuanian rum that was rejected by mainland China. More than 20,000 Lithuanian rums were originally supposed to enter mainland ports on December 29, 2021. A bottle of rum was boycotted by the mainland and could not enter the mainland market smoothly. Taiwan expressed its intention to purchase this batch of goods. In response, netizens on the island have criticized the Taiwan authorities online.
Some netizens on the island ridiculed the Taiwan authorities for treating Taiwan as a "trash can" and that all unwanted goods can enter Taiwan. He also said that how could a mere 20,000 bottles of Rum wine possibly make up for Lithuania’s losses? Don’t let the taxes paid by the people on the island go to waste.
Lithuania has repeatedly interfered in China's internal affairs and colluded with the Taiwan authorities to challenge China's sovereignty. Now, Lithuania is in trouble, and the Taiwan authorities are rushing to help. This is not the first time they have done such a thing. After the last Lithuanian brewery closed down in China, Taiwan Green Camp also called on people on the island to buy Lithuanian beer.
In mid-December, Lithuanian beer brand Wolf Wolf caused a huge loss of 500,000 euros to Lithuania because its order was canceled by mainland China. Two days after this incident, Taiwanese green media immediately began to promote people on the island to buy Lithuanian beer, and also claimed that they would "drink" Lithuanian beer.
Their tone is not small. Taiwan only has a population of more than 23 million. If they want to drink Lithuanian beer just because of Taiwan, I am afraid they are exaggerating. After the products of certain countries were boycotted by the mainland, the Taiwan authorities rushed to "pay" for them, hoping to use this to spread the "warmth" from Taiwan.
After mainland China imposed additional tariffs on Australian wine in 2020, the Democratic Progressive Party immediately supported Australia. Bought 200 bottles of Australian wine. In addition, activities to buy Australian wine are also promoted on the Internet. Among them, You Xikun, who was sanctioned by the mainland, was the most active and said that he would support Australia's "defense of human rights."
The Democratic Progressive Party is best at taking the interests of the people on the island in exchange for its own interests. Whether it was the previous pigs or the various "junk goods" they received, in the end it was the people's money and material resources that were spent.
It is understood that after Lithuania was suppressed by China, it continued to put pressure on the Taiwan authorities, hoping that Taiwan would speed up the pace of opening its market to Lithuanian goods, especially agricultural products and food. In the first half of last year, some fruits from Taiwan were rejected by the mainland due to quality issues. The Taiwan authorities also use great fanfare to encourage people on the island to buy.
The Democratic Progressive Party is too optimistic about Taiwan's purchasing power. Whether it is buying alcohol or food, the Taiwan market is far behind the mainland market. However, it is only a drop in the bucket. If Lithuania wants to truly solve its trade difficulties, it can only find a way to "repair" with mainland China.
Whether it is asking for help from the United States or the European Union , or putting pressure on Taiwan. These measures only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Mainland China’s market cannot be replaced by any country in the world. Lithuania should no longer deceive itself and naively believe that it can solve the problems caused by irritating China through other means.
