After Tsai Ing-wen came to power, she had "money relations", to be honest, it was to use money to buy the "recognition" of small countries. These actions have been condemned by the mainland, but at the same time, money-based is the least reliable. Sure enough, as the international situation changed, these countries also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Recently, there was such a country, Honduras, which seemed to have "severed diplomatic relations" with Taiwan for money, and then established diplomatic relations with China less than a month ago, and carried out a "lion opening" to ask the Chinese government to reduce its debt. What's going on here?
Moral kidnapping?
Honduras is a country that many people may not have heard of. Indeed, this is a small country of just over 10 million people. The establishment of diplomatic relations between Honduras and China is also to be able to rely on a strong China to seek new cooperation and new opportunities. But I never thought that Honduras was "so thick-skinned" that less than a month after the establishment of diplomatic relations, it would open its mouth to ask China to reduce its debt and sign a formal agreement.
Honduras does not even have a large population in a province on the mainland, which also dooms the resource economy. Indeed, Honduras has a huge debt of more than $15 billion, and for a small country like Honduras, such a high debt may not be able to be repaid, which also directly affects the development of the island.
15 billion may not be a big problem for China, but is it not a moral kidnapping for Honduras to demand that China pay its debts because of its rapid development and economic strength? China can help, but I think it is definitely not a "begging" to stretch out your hands and eat to open your mouth. The two countries can strengthen trade cooperation and trade on an equal footing rather than waiting for China to give handouts.
role
China said it would do its best to help and provide humanitarian care to Honduras' request. But China can help for a while, but it can't help a lifetime. Since borrowing so much money leads to the inability to repay, it indicates that there is a problem within Honduras. China's help is a palliative, not a cure. At the same time, China is better than teaching it to fish, and isn't it a better long-term solution to seize the good opportunity to establish diplomatic relations with China and promote cooperation between the two countries and achieve a win-win situation?
It also provokes reflection on China's role in international standing. A small country can make such a request less than a month after the establishment of diplomatic relations, in exchange for the United States, does he dare to say it so easily? Is China's image of friendship and mutual assistance seen by some countries as a bully, brainless and kind image? China has the responsibility to maintain world peace and help small countries, but this is not China's business, China will not be the main culprit, and it is obviously inappropriate for China to act rashly at this time.
At the end of one's resources
The establishment of diplomatic relations between Honduras and Chinese mainland can also show Taiwan's doom to a certain extent. That's why a small country like Honduras has been able to stir up such a big discussion at home. Because before that, it maintained so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan, which was like a joke.
And now Honduras' defection is precisely proof of Tsai Ing-wen's vain attempt to split Taiwan, even small countries know where to stand and defect, Tsai Ing-wen is still stubbornly resisting, joking with the lives and property of tens of millions of people in Taiwan, which is really hateful. How can Tsai Ing-wen, who is clear to even small countries, not worry, but she is still holding on, and what awaits her will also be severe sanctions.
Honduras also withdrew its representative office in Taiwan within a month after establishing diplomatic relations with China. The world situation is clear at a glance. But Honduras' position does not mean that China can "pay back" for it, and Honduras has not considered it before making this request.
Self-reliant
From China's point of view, Honduras will be treated with precise and self-reliant help as it is with impoverished areas in China. We can provide Honduras with a broader platform for trade and economic cooperation. Legitimate concerns for small countries without prejudice to their own interests.
I think that if China helps Honduras pay its debts, it will definitely not be the last, and more countries will use this as a lesson to ask for China's help. At that time, China will be condemned for not helping, and a good thing will be criticized in the end. So even if China doesn't help, I think China is for the good of Honduras, and once dependence is formed, quitting it is not an easy task.
epilogue
The establishment of diplomatic relations between small countries and China also means that China's international influence is increasing, and at the same time, China's development path is still very long, and every word and action needs to be cautious. Honduras' appeal is for China to understand and help as much as possible, but it is unreasonable for the lion to open its mouth and ask for repayment. China is not obliged to help.
The one-China principle is a universally recognized fact in the world, and it is hoped that all countries will bear it in mind. What do you think about the requirements of Honduras? Discussion in the comment area.
