With the continuous rise of Chinese mainland, the so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" of the Taiwan authorities are becoming fewer and fewer, and even the only 13 "countries with diplomatic relations" have already shown a trend of "vacillation" and "hesitation." According to observer reports, at the recent regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a reporter asked the Chinese side for confirmation on the fact that "when Tsai Ing-wen visited Guatemala, the dangerous side is about to send senior officials to visit China".
Regarding this "tricky question", spokesman Mao Ning said that there are currently as many as 182 countries in the world that have established diplomatic relations with China, which fully shows that the "one-China" principle is "the aspiration of the people and the trend of the times", and hopes that Guatemala will "recognize the general trend" and "make the correct choice."

Obviously, Mao Ning did not "confirm" that Guatemala was about to send high-ranking officials to China, which says two things.
First, the fact that "Guatemala sent senior diplomats to visit China" may be true or false, and even if it is true, I am afraid that there is "uncertainty", and from the situation of all parties, the possibility of "fake" is higher.
The reason is very simple, as the reporter said, the leader of the Taiwan authorities, Tsai Ing-wen, has just begun to visit Guatemala, and since the dangerous party has accepted the visit of the Taiwan authorities, the possibility of "abandoning the secret and turning to the light" in the short term is relatively low, otherwise Tsai Ing-wen will not "visit the crisis".

Second, the reporter specifically mentioned Tsai Ing-wen's "visit to danger" and sought confirmation from the Chinese side whether the dangerous side will send high-ranking officials to visit China, which may be a "demonstration", or a deliberate "mockery" of the mainland, that is, "uneasy and kind", in our old saying, that is, "which pot is not opened and which pot is not mentioned".
Therefore, of course, Mao Ning will not "confirm" or "falsify" the issue that the dangerous side is about to send high-ranking officials to visit China, if the Chinese side says that the dangerous side has not sent people to visit China, this is "increasing the enemy's prestige and destroying its own morale"; If the Chinese side says that the dangerous side is indeed preparing to visit China, if the other side does not come, wouldn't it be "humiliating"?
Therefore, Mao Ning neither admitted nor denied it, and judging from Mao Ning's statement, the possibility of the dangerous side sending people to visit China was basically ruled out. Why do you say that?
Honduras has just established diplomatic relations with China
If the dangerous side is really about to send someone to visit China, it is unlikely that it will be during Tsai Ing-wen's "visit to danger", which is tantamount to hitting the Taiwan authorities in the face.
At the very least, it is necessary to negotiate with the mainland, and only when it is almost the same will the dangerous side send people to visit China, so that it can "ensure harvests in drought and floods", that is, "ride a donkey to find a horse."
Second, Mao Ning's statement is "unceremonious", obviously asking Guatemala to "clearly understand the situation" and "make the correct choice"; the so-called visitor is a guest, and the other party intends to develop relations with the mainland.
Tsai Ing-wen has just visited Guatemala
Since Mao Ning said so, nine times out of ten, in fact, there is no situation in which the dangerous side sends people to visit China, and since the dangerous side does not plan to "abandon the secret and turn to the light" at least at this stage, then China's statement will "leave no room" and "be polite."
Therefore, the news that "Guatemala is about to send high-ranking officials to visit China" will most likely not be true, and the dangerous side has recently "fought hotly" with the Taiwan authorities; the reporter's question is either "really don't know" or "pretend not to know"; if it is the former, it is just that, if it is the latter, it is deliberately to "disgust" China, and "its heart can be blamed."
