Recently, the video of Honduras making excessive demands on China can be said to have flooded the Internet and caused discussion among netizens, so what did Honduras do that caused people to accuse?
Speaking of Honduras, many people may not know this country, but if you talk about it as a country that just broke off diplomatic relations with Taiwan and then established diplomatic relations with China, many people will know.
At that time, when Honduras announced the severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan, it also won a wave of goodwill from the Chinese people, but this country actually made unreasonable demands on China when the two countries had established diplomatic relations less than one month ago, and even demanded that China could reduce its debts to him.
During the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the two Western-dominated financial institutions simultaneously pressured China to revisit the issue of debt restructuring, with the aim of demanding debt relief and forcing China to bear losses.
They claim that many developing countries in the world have debts to China, and that China, as a bilateral creditor and the world's second largest economy, should shoulder the responsibilities of a world power and need to provide debt relief to some countries.
In the face of such unreasonable demands, the mainland governor People's Bank of China said on the spot that he would never agree with Western countries using their authority to put pressure on China.
You know, not only China is a world power and creditor country, the United States is also the same, Western countries can not unilaterally force China to implement, and sit idly by, although we are economically rich, but our money is also Chinese people hard earned money, is the result of hard work, China has always adhered to an open cooperation and mutually beneficial attitude and position, by no means simply to give benefits!
Now there are more than 70 countries in the world, because of poverty has to borrow out, and the number of poor countries, is still increasing, the debt has reached more than 300 billion US dollars, in order to solve the debt crisis of these countries, so that the country will not face bankruptcy, so the United States and the mainland and other countries have formulated a common debt framework mechanism, respectively to deal with the debt problems of different countries.
However, Western countries have repeatedly made unreasonable demands, believing that China is a creditor of both sides and must bear more responsibility, so they have forced China to demand debt relief.
What is even more infuriating is that countries led by the United States have unexpectedly reduced the debts of more than ten African countries, and they want to achieve the purpose of oppressing China through public opinion and morality, so that China will suffer in vain.
And the mainland has already taken a responsible attitude and earnestly implemented the debt repayment initiative, providing 45% of the amount of debt repayment, which is already a lot of relief, but I did not expect that at the instigation of the United States, some countries would even ignore their faces and ask China to carry out debt relief as soon as possible, and their behavior is really ungrateful!
At the instigation of Western countries, Zambia has publicly failed to settle its debts, accusing the Chinese government of not being able to carry out debt restructuring as soon as possible, which has dragged down its domestic economic development, which is really brazen!
At the tense moment when Western countries were putting pressure on the mainland, Honduras, which had just established diplomatic relations with us for less than a month, actually jumped out and made such excessive demands with China, and they also asked China to provide debt relief.
At that time, one of the reasons why Honduras and Taiwan broke off diplomatic relations was precisely because the domestic economy of Honduras was close to the moment of collapse, their poverty rate was as high as 73%, the government debt exceeded 15.6 billion US dollars, and half of the fiscal revenue had to be used to pay off the debt. And the severance of diplomatic relations with Taiwan is also because they have rejected two requests to Taiwan.
The first is that Honduras wants the Taiwan authorities to increase the previous annual aid of $50 million to $100 million, but it is refused.
Second, Honduras hopes that the Taiwan authorities will forgive its $600 million debt, and this request has also been politely rejected by the Taiwan authorities, which shows that Honduras is really greedy and insufficient!
Therefore, after establishing diplomatic relations with China, they also hoped to receive assistance from Chinese financial institutions, but Honduras seemed to have miscalculated, and the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and any country was not bought by profit.
The root cause of their debt predicament lies in themselves, and what they need most to do is to adjust and develop the domestic economy and accelerate development, instead of asking China to reduce debt with Western countries!
