[Reporter Xie Junlin/Report from Taipei] Foreign Minister Wu Zhaoxie announced this morning (26th) that my country and Honduras would sever diplomatic relations, ending the 82-year friendship between the two countries.

In this regard, DPP legislator Wang Dingyu said that despite the severe economic situation, China is still willing to spend tens of billions of dollars to dig Taiwan's diplomatic relations; but as CNN reported today, China's doing so is counterproductive, and Taiwan's visibility in the international mainstream society is higher. , The higher the importance.

Wu Zhaoxie said that China's lure to Hongguo has never stopped. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassy have grasped the relevant information and dealt with it carefully.

In this regard, Wang Dingyu pointed out that losing a country with diplomatic relations is certainly not a happy or good thing, but we must understand the nature of this matter. Despite the severe domestic economic situation and even the sharp decline in welfare benefits for the elderly, China is willing to spend tens of billions. The purpose of undermining Taiwan's diplomatic relations is to isolate Taiwan internationally and remove the fact of Taiwan's existence.

However, Wang Dingyu said, as pointed out by CNN's report today, China's actions are counterproductive, and Taiwan's visibility and importance in the international mainstream society are higher. The diplomatic interaction between Taiwan, Europe and the United States and other mainstream countries in the world in recent years is actually unprecedented. Therefore, China's goal of spending a lot of money to poach the wall and try to isolate Taiwan will not succeed.

As for why this time was chosen, Wang Dingyu analyzed that because President Tsai Ing-wen is about to visit the United States, she will receive the highest level of reception in more than 40 years. Not only will she enter the United States to give a speech, but she will also receive the Global Leadership Award. Even the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, McCarthy, will lead a delegation to pick him up , Talking with President Tsai, so such a high-level Taiwan-US relationship has made China try to blur the focus. On the one hand, it poached Taiwan's allies, hoping to reduce the impact of the improvement of Taiwan-US relations.

In addition, Wang Dingyu said that China also invited former President Ma Ying-jeou to visit around the Ching Ming Festival for a substantive political visit, using such an internal and external attack on Tsai Ing-wen, trying to reduce the benefits of Taiwan's diplomatic breakthrough, but as CNN said, Such an approach cannot succeed.

"We are very sorry that Honduras has broken diplomatic relations." Wang Dingyu said, still reminding this old friend that the checks issued by China are not reliable, and hope that they will know one day that this 82-year-old friend in Taiwan is good.

Legislator Luo Zhizheng of the Democratic Progressive Party said that Honduras could not resist China's money temptation after all, so the 82-year-long diplomatic relationship between Taiwan and Hong Kong was officially severed!

However, this is only a defeat in a diplomatic battle. The diplomatic battlefield between Taiwan and China is comprehensive, including substantive relations with major countries. The progress in relations between Taiwan, the United States, Taiwan, Japan, and even European countries is unprecedented!

"We can be disappointed, but we must not lose our ambition!" Luo Zhizheng emphasized that the so-called "virtue is not alone, there must be neighbors." Taiwan has the values ​​of democracy, freedom, and human rights. "It is our strongest diplomatic bargaining chip!"

Legislator Xu Zhijie of the Democratic Progressive Party pointed out that both Paraguay and Honduras have changed their relations with Taiwan due to the rotation of political parties, but Taiwan and the United States will continue to work hard to prevent their allies from falling into China's debt trap!

In the future, Taiwan will move towards substantive diplomacy. For example, the speaker of the Czech Republic will lead a high-profile visit to Taiwan by hundreds of people, Taiwan will set up an office in Lithuania, and there may even be new diplomatic relations in the future. way."
