Honduras has become the 182nd country to establish diplomatic relations with the continent. For most of us, it is just a very strange and distant small Latin American country, Honduras is one of the least developed countries in Latin America, with agriculture dominating the economy, a very weak industrial base, a poor country with a high homicide rate, gangsters, drug trafficking, and infectious diseases, but unfortunately its good geographical environment.
Location of Honduras in Latin America
Honduras is located in the north of Central America, bordering the Caribbean Sea in the north and the Pacific Ocean in the south, bordering Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala respectively, mainly mountainous plateaus, covering an area of more than 110,000 square kilometers and a population of about 10 million. Located near the equator, it has abundant rainfall and has always been the main coffee growing area on the American continent.

Thanks to the innate geographical and climatic environment, Honduras' agriculture has been developing very well, and the passage between North and South America could have promoted Honduras' economic development and advanced, and it is said that it should live a happy life.

However, the truth is quite the opposite, the crime rate of robbery, murder, drug trafficking and other crimes in this country is extremely high, which can be said to be "commonplace". In order to make money, men are heavily involved in drug trafficking crimes, women are forced to sell themselves "legally", many high-ranking government officials are the main players involved in crime, and even the president is a big drug dealer. In January 2022, former President Juan Hernández stepped down, and a few days later, the influential former president was controlled by the police to walk out of the mansion in handcuffs amid the horror of the people. Hernandez is accused of accepting huge bribes from drug lord Guzman, who in turn donated money to help him run for president. And his own brother is also a big drug dealer, using drug money to sponsor Hernandez's "Honduran National Party".

All this stemmed from the arrival of Columbus in the 16th century, which caused frequent disputes in the land. Honduras was once one of the birthplaces of the Mayan civilization, colonized by the Spanish and French, and annexed by the Mexicans, and the proportion of indigenous people here is only 2%. In the 160 years since Honduras' independence, there have been 139 coups and 112 presidents, making it one of the most frequent coups in Latin America. Therefore, people are eager to leave this hell on earth and go to heaven American immigration. The United States is the largest market for drugs in South America, and it has huge interests in Honduras, which has become the largest drug transit point on the choke point from South America to North America.
The new female president, Fidel Castro
I checked the information, the current female president Castro who led the severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan Island is not a good stubble, her husband was also the president, and was ousted because of collusion with drug lords, Castro also vigorously supported himself and her husband's cronies to control the country's key departments after coming to power. This country is inevitably not another "white-eyed wolf"! Did you know? The meaning of Honduras is "abyss".
Unrest is frequent in Honduras
Although Honduras is a small country and surprisingly poor, it is very big for Taiwan, and it was previously the top three "big countries" among the dozen or so "countries with diplomatic relations" that had relations with Taiwan. At present, Taiwan Island also has 13 "countries with diplomatic relations": Nauru, Palau, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Belize, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Guatemala, Haiti, Paraguay, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Eswatini, and the Vatican.
