List of countries that recognise Taiwan now
Belize (Caribbean tax haven with the 7th highest murder rate in the world)
Guatemala (massive gang violence and riots)
Haiti (lol)
Holy See (religiously incompatible so a free win I guess)
Honduras
Marshall Islands (foreign aid is 30% of GDP)
Nauru (25% of GDP from running an Australian detention center)
Palau (foreign aid almost 100% of GDP)
Paraguay (current VP and former President sanctioned due to ties with narco terrorists)
St Lucia (somewhat normal Caribbean tax haven)
St Kitts and Nevis (tax haven with 9th highest murder rate in the world)
St Vincent and the Grenadines (tax haven with 8th highest murder rate in the world)
Swaziland aka eSwatini (ruled by a total dictator who spent the health budget on a Paris shopping trip while an AIDS epidemic raged out of control)
Tuvalu (20% of GDP from aid and 10% from leasing out the ".tv" TLD)

I think you need to read up on what recognition of Taiwan or the PRC really means and why some countries still recognize Taiwan over the PRC

The U.S. doesn’t really give a shit about it. Remember they have their own weird One China policy in which they technically only deal with mainland China and not Taiwan. Very few countries recognize Taiwan to be the real China still.

I don't remember many Israelis caring when their government was terrorizing Palestinians :/ Welp....who would have guessed that the government that could so horribly treat Palestinians has the capacity and evil to horribly treat them.

Almost every neighbor in South China Sea by taking their islands and claiming them to be Chinese now. This has been going on for the last 10-20 years and still is. Maybe get informed before posting something so blatantly wrong?

Reply to comment by fip-0-matic in Sweden’s criticism of Hungary’s democratic decline is behind PM Orban’s delay in ratifying the Nordic country’s bid to join NATO, according to a senior Hungarian official by green_flash
To throw Hungary out of the EU, you need the vote of all EU members, including Hungary.

The problem for the government isn't the protesters having military training. It's that due to the nature of mandatory service the army will never turn on the people. I'm very serious under no circumstances will the army ever even dare to attack the protesters. Bibi lost as soon as he tried all that's left is to see when he finally gives up and accordingly how bad his punishment his going to be. This entire move is seen as essentially treason and considering the fact both the ultra nationalist and ultra orthodox aren't liked by the general public this government is a dead man walking

Tell me about the Uyghurs? How safe did they, do they, or can they ever feel?
I have something I think you'll enjoy....go onto posts about racism and say, "As a white man, I have never experienced racismor even wotnessed it, everyone is just so pleasant to everyone else. The only rasim that exists is in old books and in snowflake victims"

I would assume that the US, which is much nearer than China, has even more perks for Honduras and that the US are not going to be very happy about this change

Work and school can start whenever we want them to start. That's not a problem that requires changing the clock.

Neither population wise or area wise, Paraguay is the biggest by area and Guatemala has more population.

Lapid is a populist and a lier, basically a lot like Bibi but without jail hovering over his head.
When Bibi leaves, we HAVE to introduce term limits on our PMs.

I believe Honduras was the largest country in the world to have official diplomatic relations with Taiwan.
