BEIJING: China established diplomatic ties with Honduras on Sunday after the Central American country ended its decades-long relationship with Taiwan, as Taiwan's foreign minister accused Honduras of demanding exorbitant sums before being lured away by Beijing.
In a brief statement late on Saturday, the Honduran foreign ministry said it recognised the People's Republic of China as the only legitimate government that represents all of China and that Taiwan is an"inseparable part of Chinese territory". Speaking on Sunday in Taipei shortly after the announcement, Taiwan Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said Castro, who took office early last year, and her government had"always had illusions" about China and China's"luring" had never stopped.
Wu said he was"highly suspicious" of the timing of the Honduran decision so close to Tsai's overseas tour.The United States has been watching with concern as China expands its footprint in its backyard by taking away Taiwan's Central American allies, and has repeatedly warned countries not to believe China's promises of aid.
