why has china taken on bridge to what lithuania has done? right, indeed, even though there are 15, only 15 countries of the world are recognized taiwan officially. there are indeed many, many more countries, as you just mentioned, that have some form of defacto representation from taiwan. and they have some sort of trade representative. for example, and lithuania certainly are certainly not the only one in europe. what really has barked the recent controversy of the recent tension between lithuania and china is the fact that the new representative office that will be open and lithuania is going to bear the name taiwan is going to be the time when he's representative office. typically, the sorts of representative office use the name type pay because if you refer to the island itself to taiwan in the name of the, of the office, this tends to give more legitimacy to, to taiwan. and therefore, this is something that tends to really angered china, so in order not to jeopardize relations with china, those countries usually all we have, what again

if we look at the situation in poland last year and lithuania as we speak, there is what is called the migrant crisis, but i would also call it primarily an assault on these countries, these citizens trust in their country's ability to run their countries, because the migrants are simply just a tool that belarus, specifically lukashenko, has chosen to use to weaken these countries. what he is doing is suggesting the citizens of these countries, and by extension other eu states, that their governments are not capable of fulfilling the requirements of a government, including keeping the borders safe. what does that mean? i remember -- i don't know if anybody else on this call remembers -- on this event remembers the 2014 incident off the coast of stockholm. there was a suspected submarine intrusion and the swedish navy was sent to chase them out. as most of us are not experts in submarine hunts, it is an area where you can easily cede this -- cede disinformation which is exactly what russian media outlets and officials did, by suggesting it was not a submarine at all or that it was a nat
