Taiwan-Honduras-China Diplomatic Tensions Escalate.

Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu has accused China of being involved in Honduras' plan to switch diplomatic allegiance from Taipei to Beijing, while also suggesting that Honduras had demanded a "high price" to maintain relations with Taiwan. Honduras has denied demanding $2.5bn in aid from Taiwan before announcing the plan. Beijing views self-ruled Taiwan as its own territory and has been stepping up efforts to win over just 14 countries that continue to maintain formal diplomatic ties with the island.
