China versus Lithuania.
Over the weekend, Lithuania withdrew from a cooperation forum involving China and 17 Central and Eastern European states and called on other EU members to follow suit. On Monday, the Chinese Foreign Ministry tried to shrug it off, calling Lithuania's move an "isolated incident" that wouldn't derail Chinese cooperation with the grouping. But an article in the hawkish Global Times ripped into Lithuania, saying the country is "not qualified to attack China and this is not the way a small country should act" and that "when such a small country is aggressive ... it will invite trouble." This sort of rhetoric will resonate far beyond the Baltics. A similar statement from China's foreign minister in 2010 directed at "small countries" in Southeast Asia, for example, was considered an inflection point in regional perceptions of Chinese coercion.
