Honduras' shift towards China raises concerns and economic motivations.

Honduras' decision to sever ties with Taiwan and pursue diplomatic relations with China is motivated by economic interests, according to the country's foreign minister. Rising debt and the need for more investments were cited as reasons for the move, which could have repercussions for the country's relationship with the US. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Central America, and the decision highlights the dilemmas faced by countries seeking strong economic ties with both the US, a strong supporter of Taiwan, and China.
