Lin made the remarks at a regular news briefing when asked to comment on Lithuanian Prime Minister Inga Ruginiene's recent statement that her country's 2021 decision to host a "Taiwanese representative office" was a strategic mistake.

China's door to communication with Lithuania remains open. We hope that Lithuania can translate its willingness to improving bilateral ties into real actions and correct its wrongdoings at an early date, Lin said.
