Honduras is one of only 14 countries to maintain formal diplomatic ties with Chinese-claimed Taiwan and Beijing has been stepping up efforts to win over Taipei's remaining allies, saying that as a Chinese province the island has no right to state-to-state ties, which Taiwan strongly disputes.
The source familiar with the situation confirmed a report by Taiwan's official Central News Agency that on March 13 the Honduran Foreign Minister Eduardo Enrique Reina had written to Taiwan's foreign ministry demanding the money.There was no immediate response from the Honduran government.was partly because the Central American country was "up to its neck" in financial challenges and debt - including $600 million it owes Taiwan.
Taking lawmaker questions in parliament earlier on Wednesday, Taiwan Deputy Foreign Minister Tien Chung-kwang said the government will not "lightly give up" on trying to keep Honduras and was "still working hard".
$2.5 bln to buying the relationship? For what? Let it go wherever it wants.
Taiwan, drop them losers. Use the money to buy some tomahawks ✌🏽
That is plain & simple extortion. Clearly shows how a banana republic works.
demand - did they learnt that term from BLM ✊🏽

Honduran official: US 'respects' decision on China relationsThe U.S. government said it 'respects' Honduras' decision to move towards establishing formal diplomatic ties with China, the Honduran Foreign Minister Enrique Reina said on Monday after a meeting with U.S. officials. China has it easy: many countries are disappointed by the US, have lost trust, and hesitate between the Chinese promises and the US ones, balancing US unsecurity, politicized justice, CIA image and false promises of protection, against corruption, but effective economical boost. Reuter's words contains such logic: the foreign affairs of any country should be liked by the United States. People from Honduras refer to themselves as Honduranians.

One day these warmongers will scream china military action against Taiwan is unprovoked 😂😂 Panicking West fearful of the Cino-Russian partnership. The Global South is emerging and making countries like Germany irrelevant. Saudis are talking to Iranians, Syrians and the dollar is being abandoned en masse. The future is brighter for the world. Germany bitch fell in love with TW fogs, totally understandable, after all bestiality is a German tradition.🤣
