Lithuania found that out the hard way. After antagonizing China by allowing Taiwan to open a Taiwan Representative office in Lithuania, a de facto embassy in fact, it suffered serious economic consequences. Lithuania now wants to reset economic ties with China again but has been completely written off by China today. What is the point of Lithuania being angry against China now for ignoring its overture, when it dug its own grave.
When you are in the bad books of China, you will find it out the hard way. The Dutch seized China's Nexperia's head office in the Netherlands, found out the consequences of seizing a name plate and just a shell afterwards, tried to reverse its actions by giving control of Nexperia headquaters in Netherlands back to China. I do not honestly think China is much interested in the importance of just a name plate, as the real estate of Nexperia is all in China. Moreover, that Dutch minister who plotted the seizure already said that he will do it again, a stance which China is not going to take lightly.
No, New Zealand has still not seen the consequence of being in the bad books of China. The Kiwis are just sighting the tip of the Chinese iceberg approaching and will know what to expect soon.
