China has stopped buying beef, dairy products and beer from Lithuania, authorities say, as a row deepens over the Baltic state's ties with Taiwan.
China-Lithuania relations soured after Lithuania allowed Taiwan to open an embassy in its capital of Vilnius in November.
The embassy in Lithuania bears the name Taiwan rather than "Chinese Taipei", the name used by many foreign nations to avoid offending China.
However, China downgraded its diplomatic relations with Lithuania days after.
The EU has launched a challenge on behalf of Lithuania at the World Trade Organisation.
