Not satisfied with driving the Baltic countries into the anti-Russia hysteria, Global NATO has now coerced Estonia and Latvia into quitting the agreement between China and the Central and Eastern European Countries (China-CEEC Cooperation). Chinese analysts told Global Times that the decision was a “shortsighted approach” and means they will lose their diplomatic independence and sacrifice their opportunities for development.
“The two Baltic nations’ move won’t have a major impact on the China-CEEC Cooperation, but pinning their hopes on the EU and the U.S. is very unwise as the EU and the U.S. can hardly offer them any tangible or much-needed economic help,” analysts told Global Times. They added that the two countries have “prioritized security over economy, and even ignored the livelihoods of residents.”
