9:18 pm
their president jim as they of guatemala cooled, the relationship between the 2 country, the friendship unbreakable. i suppose that says something that remains to be seen if that will remain the case cuz you are saying some a across latin america tie one has been losing grounds just worldwide at the moment . now it's got only 13 official diplomatic partners and just in central america where the type, when he's president, saying when he's now they've lost nick, can i? well hold us just days before you mentioned el salvador, the dominican republic, panama costa rica. so that was welcome. that's been afforded by the guatemalan president will really be music to be is of the time when he's president, it said that she's had to go there. we have an open check book. taiwan has plowed money into guatemala in the past. it will probably have to continue to do so, to counteract chinese offers in guatemala,
9:19 pm
just as in the rest of the region. it's region latin america, which one is really look to increase its influence. not just about taiwan and breaking that countries influence in the region. it's also about the fact that this is united states traditional area of influence and china sought to really compete with that in recent years. john, does it look like taiwan is fighting a losing battle when it comes to trying to maintain its diplomatic presence in the region? i think the loss of countries like on doris and the other ones that i mentioned in central america says that it is going to be difficult for it's a country about $23000000.00 people. it's a small island and it's competing with one of the world super powers. no china. so this is always going to be difficult for it to, to keep hold of it. few remaining allies and an official diplomatic partners, which by the way, most them a sort of small countries themselves. we're not talking about any great powers that
9:20 pm
officially. it's a diplomatic partner with, i think you were mentioning a little bit earlier as well. so i, me, paragraph which is coming up for elections also in latin america at the end of this month in april. and the opposition candidate is said that he'll definitely re consider switching from taiwan to china. that's probably one of the biggest partners it's got. so the future isn't looking, rosie food, tie one with regards to that and china, it's just been really aggressive, especially in latin america. since citing when came to power in trying to bright ties, it's taken 9 countries away from taiwan. if you want to look at it that way, rested the official recognition from taiwan to china. so this is really been something that china's been determined to do. now this bridget will go from guatemala to believe and then to california to meet with us politicians. after that, as the time when he's president,
9:21 pm
looks to try and sure what support taiwan has left. alright, thanks so much john holman there let's continue this now with roberta wagner's a professor of international relations at the file and divide the university joins us from guatemala city. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, why are we seeing countries in the region pivoting away from taiwan and towards china? well, i think the, the main reason here is, is economic. i mean, there is a that, as you mentioned before, i mean chinese, a super power i. one has had a special relationship with many central american and many caribbean countries. but when it, when it comes in a certain way to get the economy weight that china hass is very tempting to for many countries to accept this. unfortunately,
9:22 pm
some of these positions from countries like a salvador and recently from one tourist, they have not been like strategic decisions. it's meant mainly because of the interests of our particular government. and also because it's, it's a reflection on how the u. s. has lost also a lot of leverage on the region and a lot of countries are now looking elsewhere. i looking for other alternatives that can, you know, bring economic corporation that can be work for foreign direct investment. and china is under top of the list. so i think this is one of the main reasons. plus, you know, how other governments sometimes take decisions, but that are not like thinking on long term or strategic decisions, but rather a very long dressing mind issues. well, given then everything you've sad, fancy, the way the political, the economic wind is blowing. why on guatemalan believes able to box the trend.
9:23 pm
that's because the corporation is bernice has been very strong. i mean, it's a historic operation. there's a lot of ties that, i mean, this relationship was really strong. came it really a right in a time when there was the internal conflict in what the amount of, for example and ever since then corporation has been very strong. you could say that ties that bind us, especially that bind us a big part of the political elite, a big part of the economical it is very strong on in terms of believe his social is, is that very material, cooperation, hospitals, schools, ambulances, police, cars, and also infrastructure, and again, i think you are countries could make a good take more could, could maximize this type of cooperation where, but still, you know, that just,
9:24 pm
there's many people that sometimes think that on the other hand, no one china can be more things. but that is not, that's not something that's guaranteed. i think that the, the problem is how, by one, sometimes it's in the middle of like a russian lead. it depends what the most going to have general elections in 3 months. and it, and they look and also forward to see whoever becomes next president of this country. why, how are they going to react with this issue? so i mean, they're very keen on that, but it's a historic and it has been a very strong, sometimes controversial relationship. but currently it is very strong. and so you mentioned got, am aaliyah's upcoming elections. power guy goes to the polls in april. is this trend of dwindling influence with taiwan going to increase going forward in the future? i think, i mean is, as i said, it is sometimes like
9:25 pm
a russian lead kind of thing. you don't know the uncertainty coming in the next elections. you don't know which candidates are going to hold. principles are going to like, think strategically, as i said, in terms of foreign policy and which candidates are just going to do seek some advantages to that relationship, which it was something that happened in the son about one of the lucy parties actually asked they one for money for to run their, eat their election, you know, these kinds of things, unfortunately happening in our countries. so that is a problem and that is something that, by one has to deal with in this region. all right, thank you so much for your analysis on that. thank you. mozambique is facing it's worse cholera outbreak in 2 decades. vaccination campaign supported by the world health organization is underway. w h o says the damage caused by cycling friday to health facilities and water supplies has increased the
