On March 14, Honduran President Xiomara Castro announced on her social media account that she had instructed Honduran Foreign Minister Eduardo Reina to seek formal diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

"This move is intended to show my determination to complete the government's plan and freely expand the border with the rest of the world," Castro said.

The frog bureau was stunned all of a sudden.

He actually shouted that Honduras "carefully judged and did not fall into the trap"!

The look of a stupid frog and a donkey who is poor in skill is really laughing to death.

At the end of 2021, Nicaragua resumed diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland at a "record" speed, announced that it had severed "diplomatic relations" with the Frog Bureau, becoming the 181st country to establish diplomatic relations with the Chinese mainland Frog Bureau, and only 14 so-called "friends" of the Frog Bureau remained: Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Belize, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Paraguay, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Eswatini, and the Vatican.

After Nicaragua resumed diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, neighboring Honduras immediately became the focus. Because at the end of November 2021, leftist leader Hilmara Castro was elected the first female president of Honduras.

When Castro ran for the election, he made it clear that if elected, she would end Honduras' "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan and turn to recognizing "one China."

From November 21 to 23, before the results of the Honduran election, the United States sent Brian Nichols, assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, to Honduras to pressure Castro, saying that the Biden administration wanted to see Honduras maintain so-called "diplomatic relations" with the Frog Bureau. Secondly, the United States also promised "substantial" economic assistance to Castro's government.

It has been N years since the United States itself established diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, but it has forced a small country not to establish diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, and this rogue face is really nobody.

Third, in order to help the frog bureau retain Honduras, the United States even sent Vice President Harris to personally attend Castro's inauguration ceremony, indicating that the United States attaches great importance to Castro.

Then there was the inauguration of Castro early last year, and we saw two scenes of "touching porcelain" farce. First, the Frog Bureau sent Lai Qingde to "touch porcelain" Harris, the female vice president of the United States.

It's a pity that Harris only politely responded to Lai Qingde's lick, which is equivalent to unreasonable.

Then, the meeting arrangement between Castro and Lai Qingde requested by the Frog Bureau was canceled by Castro when it was time to talk. Lai Qingde "touched the porcelain" and stood and talked to Castro for a few minutes.

It's not easy to do this dog.

How annoying is Castro?

At that time, the identity given to Lai Qingde was not even an official identity, but a civil identity given. Make it clear that not treating the frog bureau as a person is just giving the United States a face.

In January this year, our Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng and Honduran Foreign Minister Reina held a bilateral meeting in Brazil, after which Reina said that it is very important to develop trade and investment relations with Chinese enterprises.

At that time, it was interpreted as Honduras ignoring the pressure of the United States and wanted to re-engage with Chinese mainland.

If Honduras reconnects with Chinese mainland, there will be only 13 so-called "friends" left in the Frog Bureau. Among them, Guatemala, the Vatican and other countries may be influenced by Honduras, and have also announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland.

The so-called friendly nations of the frog bureau become single digits, and the countdown begins! No matter how much pressure and hurry the United States has, it will be useless!
