It claimed that one Xiaomi phone had built-in censorship tools while another Huawei model had security flaws. Xiaomi’s flagship Mi 10T [...] could detect and censor terms including “Free Tibet”, "Long live Taiwan independence" or "democracy movement", the report said.

This phone thing, as well as Lithuania allowing to the word Taiwan in "Taiwanese Representative Office in Lithuania" were the reasons for economic pressure and unofficial sanctions from China [1].

Meanwhile Taiwan is making a big effort to strengthen economic relations with Lithuania, including investments in the semiconductor industry in Lithuania [2].
