China blocking EU imports with Lithuanian components over Taiwan row

The world collectively has allowed China to be able to throw its economic & supply chain weight on the rest of the world. If a state’s opinion runs contrary to Chinese whims, consequences follow. Lithuania isn’t the only country. Australia & China have rubbed the CCP in the wrong way & economic warfare has ensued in the past.

What is noteworthy is that world needs distributed wealth & supply chain opportunities. China will continue its practices, which are termed to be in its political policies. And it isn’t the only country. If we change the optics, almost every major economically powerful country has done it.

Good. The unilateral Lithuanian move was US sponsored.
