Rabid dog EU still barking at China and wants to make money from China

China had warned the European States that if any of their products contain any hint of any Lithuania input, it will be rejected. So far, no European countries have been reported to be targeted, as far as I know.

Now, Lithuania may try or is trying to export its products to other European States, but it will not be a risk that is going to be taken lightly by the European States. China is too big a market to antagonize, while other European States trade with Lithuania is minor and insignificant. Would they want to trade their support for Lithuania and forego their much bigger market? I would not think so.

The EU did put Lithuania's case to the WTO, trying to put pressure on China over unfair trade practices. So far as I understand, that has been withdrawn. To put it in perspective, the WTO did not do and could not do anything about the unfair trade practices of the USA, with its sanctions, tariffs and technology strangulation. Any attempt to rein in China over Lithuania is going to open a can of worms for the WTO, particularly with regard to the USA's position.
