Lithuania should hold balanced stance on Chinese investment – Linkevičius

“We should evaluate them in the economic and the security aspect – we cannot lose strategic control on objects of strategic importance, to put it directly. However, the cooperation and the investments that may add more power to our economy and attract additional flows of goods – they are beneficial,” Linkevičius told Žinių Radijas news radio on Wednesday morning.

Asked whether Lithuania risked ending up in China’s pocket, the minister replied that the risk of losing the control of investments remained “in case of unbalanced attitude.”
