EU allegation of Lithuania under China’s blocked trade and corporate boycott is irresponsible

MASTV: Executive Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said in an interview with German newspaper Die Welt on December 24 that Chinese customs are not clearing goods from EU countries if they contain parts originating from Lithuania. The number of such cases is increasing. The EU will work to find resolutions acceptable to both sides. In the meantime, it is collecting evidence and may take action against China before the WTO, if necessary. What is China’s comment? Zhao Lijian: China always acts in a way that conforms to WTO rules. Certain media reports about removing Lithuania from Chinese customs’ clearance systems, suspending Lithuania’s permits of importing from China and pressuring multinational corporations not to use parts made in Lithuania are not true. If companies meet technical problems in exporting certain products to China, they can report to competent authorities in China through normal channels. We hope certain individuals of the EU can respect facts and stop making irresponsible remarks. At
