On March 26, Honduras in Latin America announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China at the ambassadorial level (on the 25th Honduras announced the severance of so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan), pledging to adhere to the one-China principle, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and severed all "official exchanges" with Taiwan. So far, China has established diplomatic relations with 182 countries in the world, and the remaining 13 countries maintain so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan.

Since Taiwan independence leader Tsai Ing-wen took over Taiwan, the number of so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" in Taiwan has been reduced from 22 to 13. The remaining 13 countries are: (land area refers to land)

1. Marshall Islands: 181.3 square kilometers with a population of 54,300.

2. Palau: 459 square kilometers with a population of 18,000.

3. Nauru: 21.1 square kilometers with a population of 12,700.

4. Tuvalu: 26 square kilometers with a population of 11,000.

5. Belize: has an area of 22,966 square kilometers and a population of 430,000.

6. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Area

389 square kilometers, population 110,000.

7. Guatemala: 108,900 square kilometers with an area of 18.6 million people.

8. Haiti: 27,800 square kilometers with a population of 11.5 million.

9. Saint Lucia: 616 square kilometers with a population of 182,000.

10. St. Nitz and Nevis: 267 square kilometers with a population of 57,000.

11. Paraguay: 40.68 square kilometers with a population of 7,454,000.

12.Eswatini: It has an area of 17,363 square kilometers and a population of 1.15 million

13. Vatican: Area .44 square kilometers, population of about 800 people.

From the above figures, we can see that most of these countries are small, poor and backward countries; Some of them pursue money diplomacy, some are countries with no diplomatic sovereignty to speak of, and some are based on the "old friends" of the Kuomintang when they were still ruling the mainland, in fact, these countries do not have most of the countries that have no important influence on the outside world, but it does not matter much whether they are or not, just like fishing there are always small shrimp that have slipped through the net. Among these 13 countries, Guatemala, Paraguay and the Vatican are the focus of diplomacy, especially the Vatican's determination and will to win.

For example, the Marshall Islands and Saint Lucia once established ambassadorial-level diplomatic relations with the mainland, and then changed their recognition of Taiwan as a "sovereign country", and the mainland must not continue to cut off diplomatic relations with them.

Guatemala and Paraguay are the only "big countries" left to maintain traditional "friends" with Taiwan, and once they abandon Taiwan, they will have unexpected political and diplomatic effects
