Honduran President Nasry Asfura speaks after his inauguration at the Hunduran Congress in Tegucigalpa on Jan. 27. Latin America’s ties with Taiwan have gained attention because they have become a barometer of the power balance between the world’s two largest economies. “While too many countries bow to the bullying of Beijing, Guatemala stands with the people of Taiwan and prospers through a strong trade relationship,” Moolenaar said. Amador hopes that Asfura restores ties with Taiwan for the benefit of the 330 shrimp farming companies that are still operating. Urdinez said that Asfura might go further and rebuild formal ties with Taiwan.
