China urges the United States to abide by the one-China principle and the three China-U.S. joint communiques, so as to uphold the political foundation of China-U.S. relations, the Chinese Embassy in the United States said in a statement on Thursday. 

Lithuania's decision to allow the Taiwan authorities to open a "representative office" under the name of "Taiwan" brazenly violates the spirit of the communique on the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Lithuania and severely contravenes the one-China principle widely recognized by the international community, the statement said, adding that China has the right to and should make proper responses, and the U.S. is in no position to point fingers and make irresponsible remarks.
