Lithuania’s dispute with China escalated after local media reported that goods from some of its companies were barred from entering Chinese ports.
Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis described the move as “unannounced sanctions” on Friday and said Lithuania will seek assistance from the European Commission next week to solve the issue. It’s “unprecedented when one EU member state is being partially sanctioned,” he said.
