GUATEMALA CITY, April 1 — Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen arrived in Guatemala yesterday on a visit to shore up ties with dwindling allies following a trip to the United States that angered China.
Washington had said there was no reason for China to “overreact” to the “normal, uneventful” trip, while Beijing warned the United States was “playing with fire.” The president will visit the majestic Mayan ruins of Tikal in the north of the country today and the new Chimaltenango hospital in the west, built with a US$22 million donation from Taipei, tomorrow.
Earlier this month, Honduras, a neighbour of Guatemala, cut diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognised China.Paraguay could follow next, with presidential elections due in April and opposition candidate Efrain Alegre having vowed to reevaluate ties with Taiwan. In recent years, Nicaragua shifted allegiance to Beijing in 2021, El Salvador in 2018, Panama in 2017 and Costa Rica in 2007.
