Honduras switches recognition from Taiwan to China.
TL;DR Summary
Honduras has established diplomatic ties with China after ending its recognition of Taiwan, which is now only recognized by 13 sovereign states. The move is seen as a diplomatic victory for China and signals growing Chinese influence in Latin America. China and Taiwan have been locked in a battle for diplomatic recognition since they split amid civil war in 1949, with Beijing spending billions to win recognition for its “one China” policy. Honduras is the ninth diplomatic ally that Taipei has lost to Beijing since the pro-independence Tsai first took office in May 2016.
