According to media reports, Tsai Ing-wen's recent visit to Guatemala, a Latin American country, was welcomed by the locals, and Guatemalan President Alejandro said in front of Tsai Ing-wen that his visit to Guatemala was a "historic visit", reflecting the "strong friendship" between Guatemalan and Taiwan, and conveying "unity and mutual assistance" to the world. The president also called for Taiwan authorities to "participate in the United Nations" based on so-called international rules, recognizing Taiwan as an "independent country" and "truly the only China."
Last year, the president also said that the dangerous country would continue to promote "continuous friendship" with Taiwan and support the Taiwan authorities. In fact, Guatemala has always been a staunch supporter of "Taiwan independence" elements, and the country has repeatedly supported Taiwan's membership in the United Nations General Assembly and other international forums.
This time, Tsai Ing-wen's visit to Guatemala, a small Latin American country, is not surprising that Alejandro actively "supports Taiwan", which is in line with his consistent support for "Taiwan independence". However, in the context of Honduras' severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan and the establishment of diplomatic relations with Chinese mainland, the Guatemalan president's pro-Taiwan behavior shows that he intends to provoke Chinese mainland.
As a small country, why doesn't Guatemala develop its economy well and be friendly with foreign countries, but instead supports "Taiwan independence" and provokes Chinese mainland? On the one hand, this move is to "repay" the Taiwan authorities, who, over the years, have actively launched gold dollar diplomacy and thrown a lot of money into the outside world in order to gain the support of certain countries, and some countries have begun to "take sides" for those money. Guatemala has received a lot of assistance from the Taiwan authorities, and since it has taken the things of the "Taiwan independence" elements, of course, it must help the "Taiwan independence" elements speak.
On the other hand, curry favor with the United States and seek American assistance. Guatemala is located in Central America, not far from the United States, many local people in search of a better life, do not hesitate to trek away from their homes, to the US-Mexico border, in their eyes, the United States is a promised land, only living there, can experience happiness. Frankly speaking, because they are located in the "backyard" of the United States, countries such as Guatemala are deeply influenced by the United States, and it is difficult to get rid of the influence of the United States.
The United States is a supporter of "Taiwan independence" elements, and with the support of the United States, Tsai Ing-wen dares to visit abroad unscrupulously. Guatemala supports the Taiwan authorities and naturally wants to curry favor with the United States and hopes to receive more assistance from the United States. Guatemala may have miscalculated by supporting "Taiwan independence" to gain the favor of the United States. You know, as the most developed country in the Americas, the United States has never helped Latin American countries get rid of poverty and become rich, and the United States will not let the backyard countries rise.
As for the President of Guatemala's statement that Taiwan is the "real China", it is even more nonsense, the whole world knows that there is only "one China" in the world, only Chinese mainland can represent China's status at the United Nations, and Taiwan is a part of China. Since the last time Honduras established diplomatic relations with China, there have been few so-called "countries with diplomatic relations" left in Taiwan, and "one China" has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is the trend of the times. Tsai Ing-wen wants to brush up her sense of existence by visiting Guatemala and other small countries, which is obviously in vain, hoping that the Taiwan authorities will clearly recognize the situation, promote national reunification, and not jump up and down, looking for an international presence everywhere!
