Recently, Taiwan’s so-called “friendly countries” have “abandoned” Taiwan. On September 16, the Solomon Islands just "severed diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. Within 90 hours, Kiribati also announced a severance of relations with the Taiwan authorities through an unexpected "raid".
Since then, Taiwan has only 15 "diplomatic relations" left: Haiti, Honduras , Nicaragua, Paraguay, Belize , Saint Vincent and the Grenadines , Guatemala , Saint Lucia , st Kitts and Nevis, Swaziland, Vatican, Nauru, Palau , Tuvalu and Marshall Islands .
direct news "defeats" one by one for you. From history, geography to political propositions, let's explore these countries and Taiwan secrets, let's guess who will be the next country to "break diplomatic relations" with Taiwan. Yesterday, we introduced the longest name of Taiwan’s “All-industry”, St. Vincent and the Grenadines (if you haven’t read it, remember to go to tutor!). Today we will introduce the second-to-last name of “All-industry”, St. Kitts and Nevis. (To be honest, it's really a bit difficult for me, because there are really few things to say)
Although most people have never even heard of St. Kitts and Nevis (hereinafter referred to as "St. Kitts"), this country has been a popular country in the immigration circle in the past two years. In 2012, the news that Zhang Lan, chairman of South Beauty Group, immigrated to St. Kitts spread wildly, making people very interested in this unknown small country. Then the news that Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holdings Group, immigrated to St. Kitts again attracted traffic for St. Kitts. Both of these two are now equivalent to St. Kitts' business cards in China, attracting people who want to immigrate.
Indeed, searching for St. Kitts and Nevis in search engines, all pop-ups of information related to immigration, mostly similar to the title "The top rich people have chosen St. Kitts, what are you waiting for?" (I don’t want to leave the various delicious foods of my motherland!)
The popular country of immigration has been "established diplomatic relations" with Taiwan for 36 years
Many people call St. Kitts an immigration paradise. It is located in the north of the Caribbean Sea in the north of the Lectuary Islands. It is an island country composed of St. Kitts Island and Nevis Island . St. Kitts has a tropical marine climate, with an average temperature of 26℃, which is indeed very comfortable. The land area is 267 square kilometers and has a population of about 57,000.
St. Kitts and Nevis were independent in 1983 and were the Commonwealth countries. St. Kitts' tourism and financial industries are relatively developed, and are famous for its loose tax system, attracting a large number of financial companies and new immigrants in need.
1983, St. Kitts and Taiwan "establish diplomatic relations".
In 1984, Taiwan established the "Embassy" in St. Kitts.
In 2008, St. Kitts established the "Embassy" in Taiwan.
St. Kitts and Taiwan’s senior officials have visited Taiwan quite frequently. Several governors and prime ministers of St. Kitts have visited Taiwan. In Taiwan, Chen Shui-bian, Ma Ying-jeou and Tsai Ing-wen have also visited St. Kitts.
Taiwan uses "all islands" to win over St. Kitts. St. Kitts speaks out for Taiwan
Since the Democratic Progressive Party came to power, cross-strait relations have fallen into a trough, and Taiwan's "international space" is in jeopardy. The Taiwan authorities always try to speak out for Taiwan through "AIs" and have a place in international occasions, such as joining United Nations , participating in the World Health Assembly, etc.
I still remember that in May 2017, the WHO Congress issued an announcement stating that it had received suggestions submitted by 11 countries including St. Kitts, requiring the inviting Taiwan to participate in the WHA as an observer" to be included on the agenda. Subsequently, the WHO General Assembly decided by consensus to reject the proposal.
In August of the same year, when the Deputy Leader of Taiwan, Chen Jianren, met with the visiting delegation of St. Kitts Foreign Minister Brantley, he hyped up the topic of "entering the United Nations". He claimed that he "thanks St. Kitts and Nevis for their support for Taiwan's participation in the United Nations, the World Health Assembly and other organizations", he almost said that both sides are island landforms and hope to work together to continue to expand friendship and cooperative relations.
Of course, no matter how Taiwan gets close to "AI", relying on "AI" to make efforts is still useless. After 2017, in 2018 and 2019, Taiwan has not received any invitation letters from the WHO Conference for three consecutive years. This year, the pro-green media on the island became anxious and sent an email to the World Health Assembly Organization (WHO) for inquiries. After receiving the reply, my heart became even colder. WHO spokesman Lin Demeyer replied via email, "It was previously sent to the Taiwan authorities for WHA invitations based on 'cross-strait understanding'. If this 'comprehension' does not exist, the WHO will not send an invitation. If there is no 'cross-strait understanding' this year, there is no need to expect Taiwan to receive the WHA invitation."
Taiwan Affairs Office spokesman An Fengshan in 2017 It was pointed out that from 2009 to 2016, on the basis of "992 Consensus " that both sides insisted on the one-China principle, through cross-strait consultation and in accordance with the arrangements reached by us and the WHO, Taiwan participated in the WHO Conference in the name of "Taipei" and as an observer for eight consecutive years. This is a special arrangement made through cross-strait consultation under the background of the peaceful development of cross-strait relations and on the basis of the "1992 Consensus". The reason why caused Taiwan to fail to attend the meeting was that the DPP authorities refused to recognize the "1992 Consensus", which made the basis and premise of Taiwan's participation in the World Health Organization Conference no longer exist, so the responsibility for not being able to attend the meeting lies with Taiwan.
Although it has been rejected by the WHO Conference, the Taiwanese authorities' spirit is commendable and they have never given up. In 2017 and 2018, we went to Switzerland to "stop meetings", and the Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shizhong led a team to Geneva to seek to hold "bilateral talks" with representatives of other countries outside the venue. In response, well-known media people on the island commented, missing the bottom line.
Tsai Ing-wen treated St. Kitts as a vacation spot Fake "visit" real vacation
Speaking of back to St. Kitts, I'm afraid that Taiwanese leaders really regard St. Kitts as a holy place for vacation, a place where you can relax. In July this year, Tsai Ing-wen "visited" four Caribbean countries, with a total itinerary of 10 days and 9 nights. She only stayed in Haiti for 4 hours, but stayed in St. Kitts for 4 days and 3 nights. Not only did she have a long time, Tsai Ing-wen's mentality was also completely a vacation mentality, not a business trip. On the evening of July 13, Tsai Ing-wen arrived in St. Kitts.
July 16, Tsai Ing-wen posted a pet version of an anonymous exchange platform "Dcard" in Taiwan, sharing a cat he met in a national park in St. Kitts and Nevis federal . He also wrote that he was on a business trip and encountered a cat, which looked like his own cat.
The "literary youth style", but the people on the island did not accept the call. Netizens on the island were very dissatisfied and angrily criticized Tsai Ing-wen for "going away" and "thinking about everything, but not the people." Some netizens on the island said that "fighting diplomacy" became "touching cats" and "spending the people's money to go out to eat, drink and have fun."
In fact, I can understand Tsai Ing-wen's desire to relax. After all, if anyone is afraid of being "breaking off diplomacy" every day, they also need to relax occasionally Song. As for the local itinerary in St. Kitts, except for the signing of a technical and vocational education cooperation agreement in Taiwan, it sounds like a lot, and even the media rarely report it.
ah, I really hope Tsai Ing-wen can have a good sleep as soon as possible!
So, when can I have a good sleep? Of course, it is after acknowledging the "1992 Consensus"!
