I thought the Premier Yu had visited those Central American countries to firm up relations there … but now I see that all they want is MONEY !!

The truth about international support for democracy on Taiwan…a free handout.

Wow… such insight, such original thinking.

Well … I think the point being made is that these countries are not supporting the Republic of China because it is an independent sovereign country … and as has been pointed out in this Forum before, the ROC is merely a government in exile exercising effective territorial control over an area where it does not possess sovereignty. And the fact that it has relations with a number of money-starved banana republics doesn’t change that in any way. These countries are just playing the ROC against the PRC to see who will give them the most US$ …

If indeed Taiwan was ever attacked by the PRC, would the Honduras Navy ever come to Taiwan’s aid? Would they send over some aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines … ?

Your guess??

Do you have any idea how much the U.S. uses cash as a means to ‘buy’ it’s support around the globe? And those we can’t buy…we invade. :wink:

Yeah, I think the ROC would be so much more legitimate if they’d just go ahead and invade some of these piss ant countries they’ve been paying off. :wink: Honduras Province, ROC?

I hope you don’t really imagine the Honduran Navy has those things.

I agree with Jive Turkey, we should support the invasion. What else is our military good for. Anyways if Taiwan island falls we can beat a hasty retreat to Honduras.

Well, some time ago when ROC officials visited Honduras, the sign on their car was written as “Taiwan, China”. When the ROC officials protested, that was changed to “Chinese Taipei.”

In the future, after the ROC invasion of Honduras, that country’s name will become “Chinese Taipei Honduras Province.”
