China News Service, September 15th. Recently, a number of foreign media disclosed that Lithuania allowed the Taiwan authorities to set up a "representative office" under the name "Taiwan", and foreign media reported that the US government intends to "change the name" of the Taiwan authorities.

On September 14, the Russian Satellite News Agency published a commentary, saying that experts expressed doubts that Lithuania could obtain US support to "compensate for the cost of deteriorating relations with China."

　　The article stated that on the Taiwan issue, the United States expressed its support for Lithuania. This is a promise made by Sullivan, the assistant to the US president for national security affairs.

The White House said in a statement that the two sides discussed economic, diplomatic, and defense cooperation between the two countries.

　　On August 21, U.S. Secretary of State Blincol had a telephone conversation with Lithuanian Foreign Minister Lands Bergis.

　　In an interview with Russian Satellite News Agency, Deputy Director of the Institute of World Economics and International Relations of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Alexander Lomanov expressed doubts that Lithuania can obtain US support to "compensate for the cost of the deterioration of its relations with China."

　　Lomanov said: "The United States needs Lithuania as it is today as a'combat force' to implement American policies in Eastern Europe. However, the era of generous investment or extensive humanitarian assistance in the United States has become history. Today, it is only Limited to military assistance. It is very likely that the United States will deliver some new weapons, missiles, armored vehicles or American soldiers to Lithuania, or conduct some performance exercises, in order to have to show that the United States and Lithuania stand together."

　　The report pointed out that in fact, the United States can only provide some political support to Lithuania, but this does not help Lithuania solve its own pressing socio-economic problems.

　　At present, there is news that the Biden administration is seriously considering allowing the Taiwan Democratic Progressive Party authorities to change the name of the "Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in the United States" to the "Taiwan Representative Office."

In response to this matter, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian stated at a regular press conference on the 13th that China has lodged solemn representations with the United States regarding the relevant trends reported by the above-mentioned media. The Taiwan Strait is peaceful and stable.

　　According to reports, the United States has not yet responded to this.

Lomanov believes that if Washington rejects Taipei's request, it will have a good opportunity to "show mainland China its intention to ease tensions in bilateral relations."
