In a statement, Taiwan’s foreign ministry said it had recalled the ambassador to “express our strong dissatisfaction” over Honduras sending its foreign minister and a delegation to Beijing this week
. The move “ignores the traditional friendship” between Honduras and Taiwan, which stretches back more than 80 years, and “seriously hurts the feelings of the Taiwan government and people,” said the statement. It added that Taiwan had “repeatedly reminded the Honduran government of the risk of trusting China’s commitment to establishing diplomatic relations.
These economic benefits are particularly appealing to developing Latin American countries – and difficult for Taiwan or its supporters to counter, said Parsifal D’Sola, founder and director of the ABF China-Latin America Research Center. “This is basically something that Taiwan and the US, frankly, cannot compete with,” D’Sola said.
