The diplomatic situation of the Republic of China continues to deteriorate. Jiang Qichen, Vice President of the Legislative Yuan of the Kuomintang, posted on Facebook today that the withdrawal rate of countries with which China has diplomatic relations has reached 45.5%. After the official severance of diplomatic relations from Nauru, there was a warning signal to sever diplomatic relations in Tuvalu, and now there is another Guatemala, a diplomatic country in Central and South America, has warned that China currently has only 12 diplomatic countries left. If the situation worsens, it may fall to single digits, and it may even become an international orphan like Somaliland. The rulers have to be cautious.
Jiang Qichen said that the Malaysian government has been in power for eight years and has maintained 22 friendly countries, consolidating friendship and maintaining economic and trade relations. President Tsai Ing-wen proposed “pragmatic diplomacy” after taking office in 2016. However, in the past eight years, it has severed diplomatic relations with 10 countries. Now, although Guatemala has stated that it will continue to cooperate with China at the current level, it is also considering developing with mainland China. formal economic and trade relations.
Jiang Qichen said that since the Tsai administration has been in power, it has successively negotiated with Sao Tome and Principe, Panama, Dominican Republic, Burkina Faso, El Salvador, Solomon Islands, Kiribati, Nicaragua, Honduras, Nauru The withdrawal rate is as high as 45.5%. Countries that have severed diplomatic ties with Panama and the Dominican Republic have more than 100 million U.S. dollars in economic and trade exchanges. However, China’s exports to Guatemala are nearly 200 million U.S. dollars and its imports are 130 million U.S. dollars, which is still the highest. Guatemala has a population of With a population of 17.98 million, it is second only to Burkina Faso, which had previously severed diplomatic relations, with a GDP of US$185.5 billion, second only to the Dominican Republic, which had previously severed diplomatic relations, with a GDP of US$255 billion. Among the 12 existing diplomatic countries, Melania has the largest population. It has the largest number of people, the highest GDP, and the highest amount of exports. Whether it was in the past or now, it occupies a very important position. It can even be said to be the largest diplomatic country at present.
Jiang Qichen said that in the past, the Tsai administration focused on substantive exchanges with “countries with similar ideals” and worked hard to expand bilateral exchanges to establish a “democratic alliance.” However, in the face of the economic rise of mainland China, and then using the economy to influence diplomacy, it began to poach people to truly recognize the Republic of China. Diplomatic countries that are sovereign and can speak out internationally are trying to shrink our international space and voice. Facing the CCP’s increasing pressure, the government should find ways to consolidate it. Otherwise, when the number of diplomatic countries remaining is only single digits, it may become The international “diplomatic orphans” have even affected the Indo-Pacific strategic layout of the United States, Japan, and Australia. There is no holiday in diplomacy. Those in power must not let the Republic of China disappear from the international community, and they must also fulfill their international responsibilities for regional stability.
