中國外交部發言人週二就中國决定召回其駐立陶宛大使以及立陶宛政府要求召回其駐華大使發表了評論，對於歐洲國家允許臺灣當局以“臺灣”名義開設“代表處”的舉動，這是合法和合理的應對措施。
立陶宛此舉公然違反了中國與波羅的海國家建交公報的精神。
根據該部網站上發表的一份聲明，這位發言人敦促立陶宛立即糾正其錯誤决定，採取具體措施消除損害，不要再沿著錯誤的道路走下去。
立陶宛必須認識到，一個中國原則不容侵犯，任何無視或否認這一原則的企圖都將付出沉重的代價。
世界上只有一個中國。 中華人民共和國政府是代表全中國的唯一合法政府，臺灣是中國領土不可分割的一部分。 一個中國原則是國際關係公認的準則，也是國際社會的共識，是中國發展與其他國家友好雙邊關係的政治基礎。
立陶宛的錯誤舉動無異於讓歷史車輪倒退，這嚴重損害了中國的國家主權和領土完整。
臺灣問題事關中國的覈心利益，中國在這個問題上不能作出任何妥協和讓步。 中國此前曾多次提出交涉，並闡明了對立陶宛的潜在後果，但立陶宛完全無視中國的立場，一意孤行。
囙此，兩國關係陷入困境的責任完全在立陶宛方面。
中國政府和人民實現國家統一的决心是堅定不移的。 維護國家主權和領土完整的紅線不容侵犯。
立陶宛必須充分認識到臺灣問題的極端重要性和敏感性，及時認識到“玩火”可能帶來的嚴重後果，立陶宛方面最好在為時已晚之前退縮，不要再走錯路。
The Chinese foreign ministry's spokesperson on Tuesday made remarks concerning China's decision to recall its ambassador to Lithuania and about the demand that the Lithuanian government recall its ambassador to China, noting they are legitimate and reasonable countermeasures to the European nation's move to allow the Taiwan authorities open a "representative office" under the name "Taiwan."
The Lithuanian move is in brazen breach of the spirit of the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Baltic country.
The spokesperson urged Lithuania to immediately rectify its wrong decision, take concrete measures to undo the damage, and not to move further down the wrong path, according to a statement published on the ministry's website.
Lithuania must realize that the one-China principle brooks no violation, and any attempt to disregard or deny the principle will come at a heavy price.
There is only one China in the world. The government of the People's Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The one-China principle is a widely recognized norm in international relations and common consensus of the international community, serving as the political foundation for China to develop friendly bilateral relations with other countries.
Lithuania's wrong move is no different from turning back the wheels of history, which severely undermines China's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The Taiwan question concerns China's core interests and China cannot make any compromise or concession on this question. China has previously made repeated representations and articulated the potential consequences to Lithuania, but the latter has arbitrarily persisted on its own course in total disregard to China's stance.
Therefore, the responsibility for bilateral relations plunging into a difficult situation lies totally with the Lithuanian side.
The Chinese government and people have unwavering determination to achieve reunification of the country. The red line of safeguarding national sovereignty and territorial integrity brooks no violation.
Lithuania must fully understand the extreme importance and sensibility of the Taiwan question, and realize in time the potential serious consequences of "playing with fire." It is better for the Lithuanian side to pull back before it is too late and refrain from moving further down the wrong path.
