Earlier this week, Ruginienė told BNS that Lithuania had “jumped in front of a train and lost” by opening the Taiwanese Representative Office under that name without coordinating its actions with the EU and the United States.

What do you mean by this? Are you referring to the island being mostly inhabited by non-han natives before the split between the ROC and PRC?
From what I’ve seen up until now, the island was a close by colony to where the “defeated” remnants of the ROC escaped to at the end of the civil war.
…and the PRC never managed to extend their power to this island.
Up until this day, where a majority of the inhabitants don’t even consider themselves ‘Chinese’ anymore, nor want to live under the rule of the PRC.
And who could blame them? Hong Kong shows what happens when a part doesn’t align with the ideas of the PRC elites concerning the authoritarian state capitalism they still label ‘socialism’. :D
