Says French Caribbean site New Media [Fr]: “Taiwan, through the hand of its Foreign Affairs minister James Huang and his St. Lucian counterpart Rufus Bouquet, has officially signed Wednesday in Castries a treaty reestablishing diplomatic ties between the two countries. China has already stated it feels ‘offended' by the document.”

    It appears that they are also trying to make friends with Suriname…further angering China, of course:

    Taiwan has never been a part of PRC. It is a joke that China unilaterally claims Taiwan as a break-away province, and forces all countries that want to have diplomatic relationship with China to admit so.
