China's trade measures against Lithuania have been rescinded, signaling a positive turn in diplomatic relations. The Lithuanian ambassador to China was recalled in 2021 due to Lithuania's decision to allow Taiwan to open a representative office under its name. Since then, the ban on goods containing Lithuanian components has been lifted, but bilateral trade has not fully recovered, with imports from Lithuania down over 70% in the first 10 months of the year. The EU has filed a complaint against China over the issue at the WTO, which is still under review. Lithuania is actively seeking to normalize diplomatic relations with China, but the details of any potential agreement remain unclear.
