TEGUCIGALPA, March 28 ― Taiwan must vacate its embassy in Honduras within 30 days, a senior Honduran official said yesterday, after President Xiomara Castro severed ties with Taiwan in favour of China in a bid for more investment and jobs from the Asian giant.
China has long argued that democratically ruled Taiwan is part of its own territory with no right to state-to-state ties, a position Taipei strongly rejects. Communist-run China demands that countries it has ties with must adopt its position. Taiwan Foreign Ministry spokesman Jeff Liu said 30 days was an “international norm”, and that they would comment further later.
The foreign ministry also announced that Honduran students with scholarships in Taiwan would be able to transfer their studies to China.
