On Nov 18, Lithuania, in disregard of China's strong protest and repeated representations, allowed the Taiwan authorities to set up a "Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania".

11月18日，立陶宛不顾中方严正抗议和反复交涉，允许台湾当局设立"驻立陶宛台湾代表处"。

This act openly creates the false impression of "one China, one Taiwan" in the world, renounces the political commitment made by Lithuania in the communiqué on the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China, undermines China's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and grossly interferes in China's internal affairs.

此举公然在国际上制造"一中一台"，背弃立方在两国建交公报中所作政治承诺，损害中国主权和领土完整，粗暴干涉中国内政。

The Chinese side expresses its strong indignation and protest against this move, and decides to downgrade its diplomatic relations with Lithuania to the chargé d’affaires level.

中方对此表示强烈不满和严正抗议，决定将中立两国外交关系降为代办级。
