The Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) urged Lithuania to adhere to the One-China principle and immediately correct its mistakes on Thursday. 

Shu Jueting, a spokesperson from MOFCOM, said on Thursday at a press briefing that Lithuania should take responsibility for its wrong actions, which have severely damaged the confidence of enterprises from both sides to cooperate. 

Shu also noted that Lithuania should correct its mistakes and adhere to the one-China principle to create favorable conditions for restoring to normal bilateral economic relationship. 

China on Sunday downgraded its diplomatic relations with Lithuania to the level of chargé d'affaires as a solemn protest against its collusion with the secessionist authority on the island of Taiwan and blatant violation of the One-China principle and international rules.
