A few hours ago, Tsai Ing-wen, who was "transiting" the United States to "visit" South America, left New York. According to Taiwan media reports, when Tsai Ing-wen boarded, a large number of protesters appeared at the scene, sending Tsai Ing-wen "out" of the United States. Over the past 48 hours, Ms. Tsai has attended a number of events in New York, and in addition to a dinner on the night of arrival and a symposium with young people in the United States the next morning, she also participated in two closed-door talks.
Tsai Ing-wen's "transit" to the United States has been strongly opposed by the people on both sides of the strait
The Hudson Institute, a well-known conservative think tank in the United States, invited Tsai Ing-wen to give a speech and presented her with a so-called "global leadership" award, and her entire trip was not "received" by US government officials, in the words of Taiwan media, it was called "deliberately low-key".
After leaving New York, Tsai Ing-wen will go to Guatemala and Belize in Latin America, two countries that are still so-called "diplomatic relations" in Taiwan, and Tsai Ing-wen is also afraid that after the establishment of diplomatic relations with Honduras and Chinese mainland, the few remaining "diplomatic relations" in South America will abandon her.

But such things are already happening. Before Tsai Ing-wen arrived, it was reported that Guatemala would send senior officials to visit China, and our Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said: One China is the aspiration of the people and the trend of the times, and pursuing "Taiwan independence" against the trend of history is a dead end, and I hope that Guatemala can make a correct choice at an early date.
We don't know yet what Guatemala's choice is, but how Honduras chooses has given a resounding slap in the face to "die-hard Taiwan independence elements" like Tsai Ing-wen, when the DPP authorities also put forward a ridiculous "mutual recognition" theory, but the Honduran government immediately issued a statement, saying that there is only one China in the world, Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and you "provincial officials", quickly pack up and leave.

At present, the world pattern is changing rapidly, leaders of many countries around the world are planning to visit China, and it is very clear which side the international righteousness is on. According to the itinerary announced by the Tsai authorities, she will stay in Guatemala for 2 days, and if Tsai Ing-wen is told in person during these 2 days, Guatemala also recognizes that there is only one China in the world, then she will lose face this time to "visit" South America.
Meanwhile, Paraguay, another Taiwanese "diplomatic friend" in Latin America, is also planning to establish genuine diplomatic relations with China, a country that is about to hold a presidential election, and one of the candidates, Erigli, said that the first thing he would do after his election was to "sever diplomatic relations" with the Tsai administration.

The current situation in Paraguay is very similar to that of Honduras, although Castro may have been pressured by the United States to stop mentioning the establishment of diplomatic relations with China after becoming president, but after months of deliberation, she finally made the right choice.
In order to interfere in the Paraguayan election, the United States was also heartbroken, and they sent CIA Deputy Director David Cohen to Paraguay to personally sit down. Everyone knows what the CIA usually does, in the past few decades, the CIA has instigated many chaos and subverted many regimes in Latin America, and the United States has brazenly sent the deputy director of the CIA, and An's heart is already clear.

But again, the one-China principle is an internationally recognized general trend, and no force can stop it.
