Honduras switches diplomatic ties from Taiwan to China.
TL;DR Summary
Honduras has ended its decades-long diplomatic relationship with Taiwan and established formal ties with Beijing, becoming the latest Latin American country to do so. China says there were no conditions attached to the decision. China and Taiwan have been battling for diplomatic recognition since 1949, with China viewing Taiwan as one of its provinces with no right to state-to-state ties. The move leaves Taiwan with only 13 countries that officially recognise its sovereignty.
