        “Honduras’ and Taiwan’s bilateral relations date back to 1941, with both sides celebrating the 80th anniversary this year. Well into the 1980’s the diplomatic relationship between Tegucigalpa and Taipei was structured around Cold War geopolitics and a shared antipathy to communism. Both Taiwan and Honduras were long governed by right-wing military governments for much of this time but both began to liberalize in the 1980s and 1990s and began to form a more nuanced relationship, largely based on trade, development assistance for Honduras, and diplomatic support for Taiwan in international organizations”

        Seems like Taiwan was giving development aid to them, but that can’t compete with what the Chinese can offer nowadays.
