Recently I read Mr. Mantas Macikas’ article “National Security Compromised in the Name of Chinese Investment” on the DELFI website. That is purely a pseudo-proposition. His groundless accusations may be out of his ignorance about China, but more likely his obsolete cold war mentality. The article distorts the vision of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and prejudicially deems China’s investment as a threat to Lithuania’s national security. As Chinese Ambassador, I have the responsibility to clarify those misunderstandings and present an authentic Belt and Road Initiative to you. […]

After visiting China, the impression arises that they are awaiting something. After speaking up about the advantages of liberal democracy, they politely listen to you and smile. From the conversations, you realise that they do not take our liberal democracy all that seriously. We, the Chinese, have had our own state for five thousand years and you are trying to teach us, they say.
