flag Honduras considers reversing China diplomatic switch due to unmet promises and economic losses, especially in shrimp exports.

flag Honduras is considering reversing its 2023 diplomatic switch from Taiwan to China, citing unmet economic promises, particularly a sharp drop in shrimp exports to Taiwan from over $100 million in 2022 to $16 million in 2025. flag President Nasry Asfura, elected with support from former U.S. President Donald Trump, has launched a review of China agreements and is expected to attend a Trump-hosted summit, fueling speculation of a return to Taiwan recognition. flag The economic fallout, including the closure of at least 95 shrimp farms and over 25,000 job losses, has driven discontent. flag While China and Taiwan both expressed openness to continued cooperation, Honduras has not confirmed any policy change, and the outcome remains uncertain amid U.S. efforts to counter Chinese influence in Latin America.
