CHINA SUSPENDS LITHUANIAN BEEF IMPORTS AIMED ESCALATING TAIWAN ROW

China has suspended imports of beef from Lithuania.
This is amid a growing trade row with the Baltic nation and its Western allies centered on Chinese-claimed Taiwan.
The General Administration of Customs did not give a reason for the suspension, which took effect on Wednesday.
The move comes after Britain said on Monday that it will join the United States and Australia in backing an EU case against China at the World Trade Organization over Beijing’s alleged trade curbs on Lithuania.
