Taiwan knocks China on Dominica


Mr Chien criticised Chinese methods
Taiwan's foreign minister condemned what he called China's dollar diplomacy after Dominica announced it was cutting diplomatic ties with Taipei and establishing relations with Beijing.
China will also be giving Dominica more than $100 million in aid over the next five years, a sum that Foreign Minister Eugene Chien described as huge.

"China offered Dominica money totalling approximately $170million. That's a huge amount of money for a small country of the population of seventy thousand people only."

Of the 26 nations which still recognise Taiwan, four are from the Caribbean. They are St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Taiwan is the largest single aid donor to some Caribbean nations and is widely reported to cement personal relations with some political leaders in the region by giving donations to their private projects.

One such project is a university campus built by a private foundation of former Haitian leader Jean Bertrand Aristide.

Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerritt said there was no animosity between the Dominican government and the Taiwanese government, and he didn't believe that he was offending the Taiwanese.

As far as he is concerned, his country's development comes ahead of the internal situation in China.

"The difficulty in Dominica cannot wait until the political situation in Taiwan is resolved. We do not know how long that is going to last," Prime Minister Skerritt said.

"I have to go out there and lead the people of Dominica out of difficulty and I have to bring prosperity and pride and hope to our people."

Taiwan's 'Caribbean headache'

By James Painter
BBC Americas analyst


The Caribbean island of Dominica has announced it is cutting diplomatic relations with Taiwan and is instead establishing them with mainland China.


For how long can Mr Chen continue to outbid China?
The Dominican Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, said his government had come to the conclusion its policy on China had been based on unrealistic and fallacious historical interpretations.

Mr Skerrit also said China had agreed to give Dominica more than $100 million in aid over the next five years.

Taiwan's Foreign Minister, Eugene Chien, condemned what he called China's dollar diplomacy in wooing away Dominica. He said it was a huge sum for a country with just 70,000 people.

Taiwan's 'aid' policy

Only 26 countries now still recognise Taiwan, of which 12 are in the Caribbean basin and Central America.

TAIWAN'S CARIBBEAN ALLIES
Belize
Costa Rica
Dominican Republic
El Salvador
Grenada
Guatemala
Haiti
Honduras
Nicaragua
Panama
St Kitts and Nevis
St Vincent and the Grenadines

Since the United Nations expelled Taiwan in 1971, successive governments in Taipei have spent millions of dollars in aid to persuade countries in the region to support their struggle with China for international recognition.

The policy has until now largely paid off: the seven Central American countries, plus the Dominican Republic and Paraguay, have continued to support Taiwan.

It has also become the largest single aid donor to other countries in the Caribbean basin, including Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and until this week, Dominica.

Large amounts of aid can and do make a significant difference to the small economies in the region.

$1,500 for each Dominican

But it is not just aid.

Taiwan is widely reported to cement personal relations with political leaders in the region by giving donations to their private projects.

These reportedly include a children's museum supported by President Mireya Moscoso of Panama, and a university campus built by a private foundation of the former president of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide.

Reports in the Central American media have also suggested that Taiwan has paid money into the political campaigns of presidential candidates - an accusation denied by the Taiwanese government.

Relationships between Panama and Taiwan are particularly close, prompting one Panamanian candidate in this year's presidential elections to declare that he would not be accepting money from Taiwan for his campaign.

Observers are now questioning for how long Taiwan can continue to outbid China.

It is no secret that China's economy is booming and the country is flush with dollars.

In 1997, the Bahamas and St Lucia switched their allegiance to China and soon after received millions of dollars for various infrastructure projects.

The amount of money offered to Dominica far outweighs what Taiwan has given in the past. It works out at $1,500 for each Dominican - amount half their annual per capita income.

Dominica's change of allegiance could cause other allies of Taipei in the region to think twice.

不值得一驳.台湾自己的金圆外交失败了而已

总得来看中国的崛起是阻挡不了的.几个跳梁小丑螳臂挡车是死路一条!

这个新闻也说明了湾湾在节节败退...

送主席诗词一首,给诸位,以扬正气:

七律　冬云

1962.12.26

　　　　雪压冬云白絮飞，万花纷谢一时稀。

　　　　高天滚滚寒流急，大地微微暖气吹。

　　　　独有英雄驱虎豹，更无豪杰怕熊罴。

　　　　梅花欢喜漫天雪，冻死苍蝇未足奇。

不过是中国人之间的金圆外交，一方胜利，一方失败了而已，便宜了一群黑人。

你如果不认为台湾是中国人，也就不用反对台独了。
