China embassy in Lithuania suspends consular services -statement

China's embassy in Lithuania has temporarily suspended consular services from Thursday until further notice for "technical reasons", a statement on the mission's website said.

The move comes after China on Sunday downgraded its diplomatic ties with the Baltic State, expressing strong dissatisfaction at the opening of a de facto Lithuanian embassy in Taiwan.
