Belize Affirms Friendship with Taiwan Amidst China's Growing Influence

China has continued its campaign in gaining alliances around the world.  Belize, however, has expressed its commitment and long-term friendship with Taiwan.  It’s an issue that led many newscasts across the globe as nations continue to align.  Yesterday, during a press brief with officials from Washington DC, the media asked if the US is looking to combat China’s growing influence in Central America.  Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Western Hemisphere Affairs, Dan Erikson, spoke briefly on the matter.

In Central America, Honduras is the most recent to break away from Taiwan back in March this year.  Other countries that have gone in favor of China are Nicaragua, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Costa Rica.
