According to a recent survey conducted in Lithuania, a significant majority of respondents, 58%, support the change of the Taiwanese representative office's name to the Taipei representative office, suggesting that such a change could enhance the currently strained relations with China. Among those in favor, 22% are fully supportive while 36% lean towards support. Conversely, about a quarter of the respondents oppose the name change, and 20% remain undecided on the issue.

The survey revealed a notable divide in opinion based on demographic factors, with urban residents, higher-educated individuals, and those with higher incomes being more likely to oppose the name change. Political affiliations also influenced opinions; voters from the Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats were nearly evenly split, with around 45% in favor and 45% against. In contrast, supporters of the Lithuanian Farmers and Greens Union and the Social Democratic Party largely favor the name change, with 73% and 71% in support, respectively.

This survey not only sheds light on public opinion regarding the diplomatic naming conventions but also underscores the political dynamics at play in Lithuania as the country navigates its relationship with Taiwan and China. As tensions between these nations fluctuate, the public's preference for a symbolic gesture, like a name change, reflects a deeper sentiment about national identity and international alignment.
