It does look like it is official. Honduras would switch recognition to officially establish diplomatic relationship with China.
Kinda less meaningful these days since Western politicians are openly visiting Taiwan these days and Taiwanese ministers also visit Western countries regularly. This did not happen before. So, Taiwan under DPP has had a massive boost in terms of "diplomatic presence" in the last few years. Ofcourse it relates to how anti-China the west has become and they do not really care about offending Beijing anymore, they actually want to offend Beijing as much as they can.
China is pretty much helpless to stop Taiwan's elevation in the west. The more powerful China becomes, the more the west wants to contain and destroy China, the more they support Taiwan in every way they can. The only response China has is doing military drills.
Economic sanctions no longer works against the West because they actually WANT to decouple from China. They welcome any sanction or economic response from China because they can simply parade it as more Chinese aggression against the west and demonize China even further.
Its a death spiral that keeps going towards some kind of Taiwan strait Crisis. Cause unless China stop the constant western support and semi-recognition of Taiwan, soon we will see Taiwan Representative Offices in a lot of western countries and even more Western Arms and even troops. They will not stop Salami Slicing.
China will have to more towards some kind of massive military retaliation, cause that is the only option they have left to stop this death spiral.
The only way to stop this is to create such a massive fear in the minds of the Taiwanese that they are the ones that would discourage the west, not the other way around. That is the only way remaining.
But if this military crisis does not work and only escalates towards even more western support for Taiwan, then I think we are looking at the start of the "THE GREAT TAIWAN WAR"
