Honduras switches diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China.
TL;DR Summary
Honduras has established diplomatic ties with China and severed them with Taiwan, becoming one of the 14 countries that still diplomatically recognized Taipei over Beijing. Taiwan confirmed that ties had been formally severed and asked Honduras to shut its embassy in Taipei. China, which sees Taiwan as part of its territory, refuses to maintain diplomatic ties with any country that recognizes Taiwan. Taiwan's global influence is growing despite the loss of allies, and the United States remains the single biggest guarantor of the island's safety in the face of a possible invasion by China.
