Chinese state medias want to team up with Russia against Lithuania
They sure seem to get upset easily. It's interesting to see a lot of social media accounts pushing the Chinese narrative and cheering this on. I don't understand how people who often time correctly call out bad behavior by the US or other western countries, are so quick to dismiss and/or defend similar behavior by China. I've never seen a good answer for why that is. What am I missing?
China and Russia Should Team up to 'Punish' Lithuania, Says Beijing Media
A Chinese Communist Party newspaper continued an editorial campaign against Lithuania this week by suggesting Beijing and Moscow should "join hands" to punish the Baltic nation for its ongoing row with China over Taiwan.
The Chinese government said it would recall its ambassador from Vilnius on Tuesday after Lithuania disregarded diplomatic protests and threats of "potential consequences" over the planned opening of a Taiwanese Representative Office in the city.
