Following the protests in Hong Kong against Chinese policies, the Lithuanian solidarity movement had formed a people's chain, modelled on the 600-km-long 'Baltic Way' that the people of the three Baltic states formed in 1989 to commemorate the signing of the secret protocols between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union that were fateful to them.<\/p><\/div><div dir=\"auto\">With the knowledge and cooperation of the Chinese embassy, a so-called 'spontaneous Chinese counter-demonstration' was organised in which the Chinese ambassador himself participated. The Lithuanian government did not accept this interference and, in response, opened a Taiwanese representation in Vilnius. Then the Chinese closed the Lithuanian embassy in Beijing and their embassy in Vilnius. That situation remains today.<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">This fine and informative meeting with the Tibet Support Group ended over pot and pint on a terrace next to Tibet
