A spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China on December 2 criticized Lithuania for having taken a measure to expel a Chinese diplomat.

With regard to the fact that Lithuania declared the diplomat of the Chinese mission to the country persona non grata, the spokesman said China strongly denounces it as an outrageous and provocative act.

China demands Lithuania discontinue such an act of violating its sovereignty and territorial integrity without delay, the spokesperson noted, adding that it reserves the right to take retaliatory measures against Lithuania.
