The Honduran foreign minister is travelling to China to 'promote' the establishment of diplomatic ties, an official said, signalling the end is most likely near for the country's decades-long relations with Taiwan.
Speaking on Thursday to reporters at parliament, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said the situation with Honduras was "not very good".
China, which views Taiwan as its own territory with no right to state-to-state ties, has involved itself in the issue, Wu said, without giving details.But Taiwan will not engage in dollar diplomacy with China, Wu added. The Honduras crisis is happening ahead of a visit next week by Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen to Guatemala and Belize, which remain allies.
"Beijing originally planned to act in the second half of the year, but because of President Tsai's visit, it brought its plans forward," the source with direct knowledge of the situation added, referring to getting Honduras to switch sides.
