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

I would assume that the US, which is much nearer than China, has even more perks for Honduras and that the US are not going to be very happy about this change

Considering the US tried to perform a coup there a few years back... the US weren't happy anyways

The U.S. doesn’t really give a shit about it. Remember they have their own weird One China policy in which they technically only deal with mainland China and not Taiwan. Very few countries recognize Taiwan to be the real China still.

Well the US doesn’t recognise Taiwan either so can hardly be annoyed for another country not?

But the US also officially recognizes China so Honduras now is on the same page with the US
