Taiwan on Sunday announced it was cutting ties with Honduras, one of the island’s only remaining official diplomatic partners.
Beijing claims Taiwan as part of its territory and says it seeks “peaceful reunification” with Taiwan, which has never been ruled by the Chinese Communist Party.“In disregard for our country’s assistance and friendship, the Castro government negotiated with China to establish diplomatic relations,” said Wu, in reference to Honduran President Xiomara Castro.
Honduras is the ninth country to sever ties with Taipei since Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen took office in 2016. The dispute over Taiwan’s status dates to the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949, when the Nationalists fled to the island and established an administration there, transitioning to democracy decades later. Since then, the ruling Chinese Communist Party has claimed sovereignty over Taiwan, but it has never ruled the island, and there is limited support in Taiwan for a union with Beijing.
