After Taiwanese leader Tsai Ing-wen landed in Guatemala, she first paid for a meal for the country's president.
This meal probably made Tsai Ing-wen very stuffed. It was originally a thank-you banquet, but as a result, the Guatemalan president said two words, but pierced "two knives" in Tsai Ing-wen's heart.
After leaving Taiwan for five days, Tsai Ing-wen finally remembered to implement the pretense of this outing - "visiting Central America".
When Tsai Ing-wen's plane landed in Guatemala, a Central American country, the scene was indeed much more "lively" than when it landed in New York. However, if you want to say how much Guatemala attaches importance to the Taiwan authorities, I am afraid it is not necessarily true.
Guatemala held a welcoming ceremony for the visiting Tsai Ing-wen, but this welcome ceremony was not carried out in accordance with so-called "diplomatic" etiquette. In the music session, Guatemala did not play the "pseudo-song" of Taiwan, but its own national anthem.
In addition, when playing the "pseudo-music" of Taiwan, Guatemalan officials did not put their right hand on their chest to show respect for the Taiwan authorities. said that it was a "VIP", did not give enough noodles; Let's say it's not a "VIP", but it did hold a welcome ceremony. This is actually a bit embarrassing.

That evening, Tsai Ing-wen held a thank-you banquet at her hotel to thank Guatemala for welcoming her. Guatemalan President Jamata was invited to the banquet, where he said a few words, each of which was not simple.
Not long ago, a president of a Latin American country told him: "You see that Taiwan has fewer and fewer 'diplomatic relations.'" He responded: "If there is only one country left in Latin America that has not 'severed' diplomatic relations with the Taiwan authorities, it must be Guatemala." ”
What did Guatemalan President Jamatthew mean when he said these words to Tsai Ing-wen?
First, he deliberately mentioned that this was said by a president of "Latin American countries", pay attention to geographical location.
Honduras, the country that has recently "severed diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities, is located in Latin America and even a neighboring country bordering Guatemala. Who could this Latin American president be? Even if we don't know, the Taiwan authorities won't guess.
To a large extent, the "severance of diplomatic relations" in Honduras is a serious blow to the Taiwan authorities, and if it were not for the "severance of diplomatic relations" in Honduras, Tsai Ing-wen might not have visited Central American countries so soon. Her visit to Central America this time obviously has the meaning of "consolidating diplomatic relations."

Second, Jia Matthew used the mouth of the presidents of other countries to express his own view: The Taiwan authorities now have fewer and fewer "diplomatic relations."
Since Tsai Ing-wen came to power, the Taiwan authorities have lost nine "countries with diplomatic relations" one after another, and only 13 countries remain. It is expected that the Taiwan authorities insist on seeking "independence," refuse to recognize the "consensus of '92," and lose "diplomatic relations" one after another.
The President of Guatemala has made this fact clear, apparently pouring salt into the wounds of the Taiwan authorities. But at the same time, let Tsai Ing-wen carefully examine her current situation, is there one to "cherish" one? If you want to "cherish", take the money. Look, Guatemala is one of them, or the aid is not enough, in case Guatemala "breaks off diplomatic relations" at that time, no one is to blame.
Which pot does not mention which pot, in order to let Tsai Ing-wen give Guatemala a little more aid.
Third, "Guatemala can survive to the end", singing the praises of so-called "friendship" and slapping a sweet date.
Look, El Salvador "broke off diplomatic relations" in Latin American countries, Nicaragua also left, and then Honduras also found Chinese mainland, Latin American countries abandoned the Taiwan authorities one after another, "Guatemala is different, it must be the last one who did not 'break off diplomatic relations' with the Taiwan authorities!" ”
The previous sentence just picked up Tsai Ing-wen's old base, and now I have to quickly affirm a few words, or how to ask the Taiwan authorities for money next?
Sure enough, Tsai Ing-wen stopped working for three days in Guatemala and sent out one of the largest local hospitals for free. In order to build this hospital for Guatemala, the Taiwan authorities spent 22 million US dollars over a period of 21 months. In order to retain "countries with diplomatic relations," the Taiwan authorities have really laid down their blood. Not only that, the Taiwan authorities have also signed a new cooperation agreement with Guatemala, which is probably giving another wave of money to go out.

The President of Guatemala seems to be full of contradictions in his behavior, but in fact, he may just want to "cut tofu on both sides", so as not to offend the mainland before and not delay asking for money.
In order to thank the Taiwan authorities for their investment in Guatemala, the Guatemalan president also specially expressed his position to the Taiwan authorities, saying that he supported the "one-China policy", but this "one China" "is not Chinese mainland, but the Taiwan region, that is, the so-called 'Taiwan is the only China'." It can be seen that Jia Matthew said this to please the Taiwan authorities, but this seems to be a bit of a "muzzle".
Because the Tsai Ing-wen authorities do not accept this so-called "one China is Taiwan" statement. The "Taiwan independence" elements are eager to draw a clear line with Chinese mainland, and they also want to completely "de-Sinicize" and completely cut off the historical ties between the two sides of the strait, let alone hope to be called "China." However, Tsai Ing-wen also did not refute the face of the Guatemalan president, so she did not correct it. However, the official website of the Taiwan authorities does not mention the "only China" statement of the President of Guatemala.
(President Jamathe, Guatemala)
It can be seen from the words of the Guatemalan president that he has not properly studied the real "one-China policy," and I am afraid that he has not seriously understood the Taiwan authorities' "Taiwan independence" proposition, and he may only be concerned about one thing: asking for money from the Taiwan authorities. The words of the President of Guatemala are all paving the way for money.
It is worth emphasizing that the "one China" in the "one-China policy" is Chinese mainland, and there is no such thing as "one China is Taiwan." There is only one China, and the Taiwan region is part of Chinese territory.
If the Taiwan authorities want to retain Guatemala, a "country with diplomatic relations," they have to spend a lot of money and engage in so-called "money diplomacy." The Taiwan authorities will always have a day when they will "run out of ammunition and food", and when the time comes, let alone say that Guatemala will be the last country, maybe Guatemala will "break off diplomatic relations" with the Taiwan authorities before anyone else.
In addition, Guatemala will soon usher in a new presidential election, when Jamatthew steps down, will the new president of Guatemala also abandon the Taiwan authorities? There is a strong possibility. The situation is similar in Paraguay and Guatemala. Therefore, May and June this year will be another peak period for the Taiwan authorities to lose "diplomatic relations."
The Taiwan authorities do not have to bother to spend money to buy "recognition," "Taiwan independence" is a dead end, and it is only realistic to talk about reunification with the mainland as soon as possible.
