EU Urges China to Revoke Sanctions Over Taiwan

The EU wants China to stop sanctions on Lithuanian banks. They think there is no good reason for these sanctions. China put these sanctions after the EU penalized Chinese lenders.

The Lithuanian banks do not work in China now. So, China's action seems mostly symbolic. This shows the EU and China are more tense about Russia and Ukraine.

China is upset because of Lithuania's good connection with Taiwan. This has made the countries have a strain. The EU defends its own actions against Chinese banks.

A person from the EU said China should respect EU problems. He also said sanctions help stop Russia's war. The EU thinks China's reaction is wrong, so they want China to stop it.

Lithuania does not think the sanctions will hurt much. The banks mainly work in Lithuania. One bank head said the sanctions do not affect them, since they do not work with China.
