Lithuania & Taiwan: Brothers From Another Mother 

Lithuania somehow always somehow the guts to do the right thing. ❤ and admiration from 🇱🇻

As a Taiwanese living in Vilnius, thanks for your video to introduce the relationship between Lithuania and my country 😊

Id say people in any country (bar one) feels for Taiwan and its people. Its just difficult to express that in any official capacity without tantrums. I like that we doing this and i understand that our businesses are not so thrilled about it. It IS for the good of the people in the long run.

Never give up and stay together in unity is a main thing against tyrant regimes. No breaking of people freedoms

We know what it feels like to be in approximately the same situation, so those familiar with Taiwan had always been sympathetic to it. But it also takes the right political alignment to be able to act on our moral principles whilst side-lining selfish business and profit considerations, which fortunately happened after the 2020 election with young neo-idealists like Landsbergis and Armonaitė taking the wheel. PS We basically won the trade war anyway, see: "Despite Taiwan spat, Lithuania sees China exports grow"! With EU's mediation, China has been steadily removing the imposed trade barriers without us giving in on the naming issue, while at the same time we've gained the goodwill and investments from Taiwan. Furthermore, just yesterday the EU adopted the so-called Anti-coercion instrument, giving us options to retaliate against something like this should it happen again in the future.

Thank you, Lithuania! Taiwan has a tough diplomacy situation, country that supports Taiwan would undergo sanctions from China, it's really brave for Lithuania to stand up against a big country like China Taiwan should have more exchanges with Lithuania, whether it's technological or cultural

🇹🇼❤❤❤🇱🇹 the biggest support for Taiwan and Taiwanese people! proud that my country’s government and diplomats chose this path of the relationship with Taiwan, although it was criticized quite much by fellow Lithuanians, but the support really matters and i really understand it as Lithuanian. small nations can stand up against the bullies when united! 💕 great video mate!

When it comes to missinddentifying which country the person is from, i totally understand. Before the Russo-ukrainian war, if i used to see a cyrilic text in game chats that felt like raging, i would say "shut up commmie" but now i dont know of they are russian or ukrainian, so i avoid saying anything. Then i realised, what if the person belarussian? Or some other country. So I understand if someone that has narrower eyes ends up being called chinese. Its easy to missidentify such a thing. However when the person KNOWS where u are from (lets say lithuania) and says "isn that just russia"? Then yes it should be a disgusting thing to hear. Im also starting to recognise korean,chinese, japanese alphabet, they are actually different! Some are more "bubbly", some look more italicized.....

My boy laowhy. Great video.

Taiwan as a sister, you described it perfectly. Stay strong Taiwan, long live and prosper.

Strangely enough on the Inglehart-Welzel Cultural map of 2020 which shows which cultures are closer to each other, Hungary, Lithuania and Czech Republic (being the area of the Catholic culture) are the closest ones to the Confucian area. Hungary is close to China, Czech Republic - to Japan and Lithuania (surprise surprise) - to Taiwan. Of course this is a coincidence. Or maybe not.

ah nice, you watch Laowhy86 :D

Thanks for video

As a lithuanian i will confirm calling us russian is VERY offensive.

Over 3 decades already! 🎉

love how you're bringing light to these things!

Let's see. 2 decades ago would make it 2003. I visited Lithuania in 1991 just after the Russian tanks were stopped in Vilnius. Correction at 9:20 in your video.

Don’t worry about the CCP hates you. I lived under the CCP in my own country. I hated the the CCP and love Taiwan and Lithuania.

9:20 Just over two decades ago? Bro, it's already been full solid 3 decades ago.

As Lithuanian i understand and support Taiwan🇹🇼🇱🇹 Thanks for the video!

“Better dead than red” Rose Namajunas, she is one of my favorite Lithuanian(american)!

I like this one :) makes me feel proudness or similar feeling :)

I just want to correct you, we got out independence over 3 decades ago.

K let's follow china's 1 rule , and I say Taiwan is the Only and true china.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Friendshoring is the way of the future

I am a citizen of the UK and would like to say that small countries, which, lets face it, these days include the UK, should stick together. So well done Lithuania and Taiwan. We face difficult times with Adolf Putin invading Ukraine and his arse licker, Trump, in danger of becoming US president again. We must stick together and support each other against international bullies.

Hey, this comment is completely off the video topic, but I just heard this myth from my friend that only if you're fluent in Lithuanian you can understand this phrase: kai žali agrastai būna žali, jie būna raudoni. Can you understand it without using translator?

Nothers from a Mother Brother

LOL, that means BASTARD.😀

I wish that Latvia would develop it's relationship with Taiwan over the communist China.

beautiful to see small countries that despite being so far apart and not having any cultural ties to each other can still unite like this to stand up to a bully, makes me a bit choked up thinking about it

I love Taiwan 💚 Aš myliu Taivaną! 我愛台灣！

Free Taiwan 🇹🇼

As Lithuanian i’m proud for my country position!

China don't like only Lithuanian government, but all simple Lithuanian people loved all East Asian countries. Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan. I'm from Lithuania and I love all East Asian counties except North Korea. Alao China is a very communist country and Taiwan is a democratic country, which is why I support Taiwan more. I also traveled to Taiwan and saw how Taiwan love Lithuanian people. I really respect Taiwan for that

I love that Taiwan is our (Lithuanias) sister from another mister 🇱🇹❤🇹🇼

A nice summary of this recently found friendship, nicely done man. 💪 I think this topic is a bit divisive in Lithuania, folks have varying opinions on China as a whole. For one, I wouldn't yet call Taiwan as a "brother from another mother". In my opinion, that title could land well with Georgia and her people due to us being part of the USSR once and having good understanding about each other and overall how our countries interact. That said, if the trend continues, Taiwan certainly could become a sibling nation for sure. For now, I think we have a very solid friendship and I hope that continues. On top of that, I think it's good what our government did in regards to the Taiwanese office. It is unfortunate that regular people and their businesses suffered as a consequence, but in the long run it's for the better. China is just another arrogant, pampered state with ego so large it's visible from the Andromeda galaxy. Nothing good comes from relying on the partnerships with such states, see Russia for reference. And also when they got super upset with us, we had plenty of support coming from our European family, US and even as far away as Australia. This even lead to EU adopting legislations recently as a response to this incident. We aren't alone. CCP keyboard warriors can only watch & weep. Best of luck to the Taiwanese people in their struggle. 💪

Thank you for your good work! Just wanted to comment to counter the five cent army influences.

Taiwan number 1 :)
