Chinese government threatens one of the smallest nations in Europe for exchanging diplomatic recognition to Taiwan

 Recently the tiny European country of Lithuania exchanged diplomatic offices with the small island nation of Taiwan.

Hearing this news, most Americans would doubt this was even newsworthy.  But most Americans don't know that communist China--by far the most populous nation on the planet, with by far the largest army--insists that Taiwan belongs to China.  So China regarded diplomatic recognition by tiny Lithuania as a hostile act.

The communist government then used a female Chinese newsreader,Tian Liu, to threaten not just Lithuania but any other nation thinking about recognizing Taiwan, calling for the Chinese communist Party to confront Lithuania with an “iron fist.”

Liu invoked an old Chinese saying “Kill the chicken to frighten the monkey,” and went on to threaten that “any country that challenges our country’s red lines must pay a price.”

“How dare such a small country challenge our great nation,” she asked.  "Let’s teach them a lesson.”

Now, for young Americans:  In the U.S, the government doesn't tell "newsreaders" what to say.  But in a dictatorship like China, newsreaders don't say anything remotely controversial unless told to by the communist leadership.  So the threat from this low-level employee actually came from the Chinese government.

For the government of the world's most populous nation to pitch a hissy-fit about a tiny nation extending diplomatic recognition to Taiwan shows an utterly insane level of compulsion to control *everything.*  Communist leaders are even crazier than biden and harris, and the leaders of China are the most powerful, arrogant and insane dictators on the planet.  It's a lesson you should remember.
