Reply to comment by MrJqmbo in Honduras announced on Saturday that it had broken off diplomatic relations with Taiwan, a move that drew an immediate rebuke from Taipei as Tegucigalpa switches allegiances to China by DoremusJessup

Very quickly Honduras might find out that moves like this are very very expensive. Reputation — gone, larger support by international community — gone, help from China if shit goes gown — unlikely, now that they’ve cornered themselves in.

Honduras can not be considered now as a reliable diplomatic partner, as it will sell you out to the highest bidder, and now everybody knows this. This is what I am talking about. Big controls can afford flip flopping, it for the small countries these kind of moves force them literally into one corner, and Beijing will always take the advantage of the new weakness that Honduras has called upon itself.
