The prospect of a shift in diplomatic ties prompted a political tug-of-war in the weeks prior the 28 November election, which brought an end to 12 years of conservative rule under the National Party, marred by rising insecurity and corruption scandals.<\/p>\n<p>But following the election, Castro\u2019s allies have tempered expectations of a switch to mainland China \u2013 at least for now.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We have a responsibility to Taiwan as we have had a good relationship, but we also have a responsibility to our own population to be realistic and pragmatic<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Honduras has long maintained ties with Taiwan, which has often made generous contributions to the Central American nation. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-panama-china-centralamerica\/taiwans-central-american-allies-coy-on-panamas-beijing-embrace-idUSKBN1942P9\">Reuters<\/a>, since 2006 Taiwan has loaned Honduras around US$205 million and given another US$27 million in donations. Taiwan also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taiwannews.com.tw\/en\/news\/4047067\">donated<\/a> to Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala after they were hit by Hurricane Eta in 2020, providing US$200,000 to each nation. As for mainland China, it has maintained commercial relations with Honduras, becoming one of its top trading partners, though the size of both its imports and exports is still far behind that of the US.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that we have a responsibility to [Taiwan] as someone with whom we have had a good relationship,\u201d said Rodolfo Pastor, a foreign policy advisor to president-elect Castro. \u201cBut I do believe that we also have a responsibility to our own population to be realistic, to be pragmatic and to understand that mainland China today plays a determining role that we cannot let go unnoticed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The decision for the new Honduran administration could ultimately come down to economics. The more aid and financial support the country receives from the US \u2013 which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us-has-urged-honduran-presidential-candidates-keep-ties-with-taiwan-official-2021-11-24\/\">has made it clear<\/a> that it hopes to see no side-shifting \u2013 the less likely it is that Honduras will make a change.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past fifteen years, Panama, the <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.dialogochino.net\/en\/trade-investment\/22177-dominican-republic-warms-to-china\/\">Dominican Republic<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.dialogochino.net\/en\/infrastructure\/11589-costa-rica-endorses-chinas-mega-infrastructure-initiative\/\">Costa Rica<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/stage.dialogochino.net\/en\/trade-investment\/29612-el-salvadors-sugar-producers-want-to-keep-taiwan-free-trade-pact\/\">El Salvador<\/a> have also switched ties and without suffering any significant economic backlash from the US. This week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/20be9454-8f04-47d5-a55f-58bbb3b57b0f\">Nicaragua became the latest<\/a> Latin American nation to do so, and while the US State Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.state.gov\/nicaraguas-breaking-of-diplomatic-relations-with-taiwan\/\">blasted the decision<\/a> \u2013 and also described its recent elections as a \u201csham\u201d \u2013 any implications for US\u2013Nicaragua economic relations remain to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Cooperation with mainland China has in many cases provided a political boost to local leaders. When Covid-19 vaccines were scarce, El Salvador raced ahead of the rest of Central America in vaccination rates thanks, in part, to vaccines procured from mainland China. Outgoing Honduran president Juan Orlando Hern\u00e1ndez \u2013 who has presented himself as a staunch ally of Taiwan \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/sedis.gob.hn\/node\/6525\">grumbled as his country lagged behind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/world\/articles\/2021-12-07\/honduras-begins-election-vote-recount-after-fraud-claims\">a recount of some votes<\/a> in the congressional elections is currently underway after allegations of fraud, Castro will take power in January, and at a time of deep economic despair in Honduras. After the nation was battered by the pandemic and a pair of major hurricanes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldbank.org\/en\/country\/honduras\/overview#1\">more than 55% of Hondurans<\/a> may now fall below the poverty line. It is one of the highest rates in four decades. At the same time, the country is heavily indebted and in great need of the kind of stimulus that the mega-projects China has been financing throughout Latin America can provide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to solve serious energy problems, for example, and I believe that mainland China can play a positive role in that regard,\u201d said the advisor Pastor. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.televicentro.com\/el-alto-costo-de-la-energia-electrica-es-un-gran-problema-para-la-poblacion-de-honduras-presidente-del-bid\">high cost of energy<\/a> in Honduras is one of the most common grievances cited by residents, and the national energy company is on the verge of economic collapse. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2021\/oct\/28\/honduras-climate-crisis-floods-hurricanes-poor-community\">effects of climate change<\/a>, such as the hurricanes that caused widespread flooding in November 2020 and the prolonged droughts of years past, have also highlighted the need to build expensive dams and reservoirs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For us to have our own reality, it\u2019s healthy to diversify relationships and seek a balance that allows us to have a counterweight to undue influence<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Biden administration has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedialogue.org\/blogs\/2021\/04\/the-biden-administration-has-pledged-significant-aid-to-central-america-but-where-should-it-go-and-how-should-it-get-there\/\">pledged US$4 billion in foreign assistance<\/a> for Central America over four years, but that money will in large part be funneled through civil society organisations and the private sector, and will not fund any major infrastructure projects. China and its investors, however, would likely be willing to fill some of the gaps and have demonstrated a clear interest in Honduras, for example in financing for the <a href=\"http:\/\/enee.hn\/ueper\/index.php\/mnu-bienvenito-patuca-iii\">Patuca III hydroelectric dam<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bnamericas.com\/en\/news\/chinese-investors-eyeing-rail-opportunities-in-honduras1\">exploring rail and port projects<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In the week before the election, a US delegation visited Honduras to make clear its hope for a free and fair election, as well as the continued relationship with Taiwan. Zhao Lijian, a Chinese ministry of foreign affairs spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/world\/articles\/2021-11-25\/china-denounces-u-s-arm-twisting-in-honduras-election\">responded<\/a>: \u201cThis arm-twisting and bullying behavior will not win any hearts and minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zhao also warned of the US\u2019 \u201chegemonic behavior\u201d in the region. &#8220;Two hundred years on, the United States is still dreaming the old dream and treating Latin American countries as within its sphere of influence,\u201d he said, referring to the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 that some see as having emboldened US interventions in Latin American affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Xiomara Castro is acutely aware of such a tendency. In 2009, her husband, former president Manuel Zelaya, was ousted in a military-backed coup that the US State Department <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2017\/dec\/07\/crisis-of-honduras-democracy-has-roots-in-us-tacit-support-for-2009-coup\">failed to condemn<\/a>. Secondary to the economic reasons, her proposal to switch relations likely has to do with an attempt to strengthen the nation\u2019s sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething that is fundamental for me, personally, is to seek balance,\u201d said Pastor. \u201cIf we only depend on the United States, as has been the case historically, then the United States has an undue influence on our reality. For us to have our own reality, it\u2019s healthy to diversify relationships and seek a balance that allows us to have a counterweight to that undue influence.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winning candidate Xiomara Castro has leaned towards establishing diplomatic ties with mainland China while campaigning, seeking
