China has reacted cautiously to Lithuania’s announcement that it wants to leave the 17+1 format. The news has been noted, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference yesterday. Wang took a clear stance against the plan mentioned by Lithuania’s government to open a business mission in Taiwan: „We are firmly against the mutual establishment of official missions and official exchanges in all forms between the Taiwan region and countries with diplomatic relations with China, including Lithuania.“
