Honduras has formally cut diplomatic ties with Taiwan, its ministry of foreign affairs announced Saturday.
“The government of the Republic of Honduras recognizes the existence of one China in the world and that the government of the People’s Republic of China represents China as a whole,” it said in a statement. “Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory and as of today, the government of Honduras has informed Taiwan about the rupture of diplomatic relations,” it added.
“The rise of China has become a very big challenge for our diplomacy,” Johnny Chiang, a lawmaker from Taiwan’s opposition Kuomintang party and a member of the parliament’s Foreign and National Defense Committee, told CNN recently. He said that Taiwan was increasingly choosing not to match China’s “dollar diplomacy” – preferring instead to underline shared values, like democracy. How significant is this? Analysts differ as to the significance they attach to Taiwan’s loss of allies.
