US EditionTaiwan alleges China is using cash to win developing nations to its stand on the island
- Taiwan's foreign minister Lin Chia-lung alleged on Wednesday that China uses cash and cheap construction to persuade developing nations to support its stance on Taiwan.
- Lin linked China's campaign to the 1971 U.N. Resolution that transferred China's Security Council seat to Beijing, which Beijing and allies use to claim Taiwan is part of China.
- China has succeeded in reducing Taiwan's 12 formal diplomatic allies, mostly small island nations and some Central American countries, by offering secretive deals and economic inducements.
- Lin accused China of attempting to sway developing countries through low-cost infrastructure initiatives ranging from sports arenas to railways, but noted that these methods are becoming less effective as Taiwan strengthens its backing from the US and EU.
- Lin urged resisting China's legal and diplomatic pressure, highlighting Taiwan's exclusion from the UN and other forums, and emphasizing the need for US and EU backing to counter Beijing.
