萨尔瓦多与台湾断交，台湾又失去了一位盟友 [联合国媒体]

El Salvador has cut diplomatic ties with Taiwan, just hours after the island’s President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a nine-day state visit including two US transit stops that gave Washington relations a boost.

萨尔瓦多断绝了与台湾的外交关系。就在几个小时前，台湾总统蔡英文刚刚结束对台湾为期九天的国事访问，其中包括两次美国过境站，推动了美国与台湾的关系。

The Central American nation was the fifth country to end its alliance with Taiwan since Tsai took office in May 2016, leaving the self-ruled island with only 17 countries that formally recognise it.

自蔡英文于2016年5月上台以来，这个中美洲国家是第五个结束与台湾同盟关系的国家。现在对于这个自治的岛国，只有17个国家正式承认它的国家身份。

In a televised address, El Salvador President Salvador Sanchez Ceren said his government had switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing. Soon after, Foreign Minister Carlos Castaneda signed a document with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Beijing on Tuesday to establish formal ties, vowing that San Salvador would abide by the one-China policy, media reports said.

萨尔瓦多总统桑切斯·塞伦在电视讲话中表示，萨尔瓦多政府已将外交承认从台湾转向中国。据媒体报道，萨尔瓦多外长卡洛斯·卡斯塔涅达周二在北京与中国外长王毅签署了建立正式关系的文件，誓言萨尔瓦多将遵守一个中国政策。

Taiwan accused Beijing of pursuing “dollar diplomacy” to lure away its ally, saying El Salvador had maintained ties with Taipei for 85 years. It also said mainland China’s repeated attempts to poach the island’s allies were no longer just between Taipei and Beijing, but had become an issue for the whole region.

台湾指责中国追求“金钱外交”以引诱其盟友，称萨尔瓦多与台北保持了85年的关系。它还表示，中国大陆一再试图挖走台湾盟友，不再只是在台湾和中国之间，而是成了整个亚太地区的一个问题。



Tsai urged all political parties and Taiwanese to stand united against Beijing, saying the island would never bow to its pressure and that the more it was suppressed, the more determined Taipei would be to build up its international status.

蔡英文敦促所有政党和台湾人团结起来反对中国，她说台湾永远不会屈服于中国的压力，台湾受到的压制越多，台北建立国际地位的决心就越大。

Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said El Salvador had asked many times in the past year for funding to develop a harbour in the east of the country, but Taipei had rejected the request after a professional team concluded the site was unsuitable for development.

台湾外交部长吴宇森表示，在过去一年里，萨尔瓦多曾多次要求提供资金，用于开发该国东部的一个港口，但台北方面拒绝了这一请求，因为专家团队认为该港口不适合开发。

He also suggested there were domestic political reasons for the switch.

他还表示，萨方的这一转变还有有国内方面政治原因。

“El Salvador will elect a new government next February,” he said. “The ruling party is lagging behind in the opinion polls, and they wish to receive funding for the campaign.

他说:“萨尔瓦多将在明年2月选出一个新政府。执政党在民意调查中落后，他们希望获得竞选资金。”

“This is against our democratic principles and therefore we were certainly not able to oblige,” Wu said.

“这违反了我们的民主原则，因此我们当然不能答应，”吴说。

Ding Shu-fan, a senior researcher at the Institute of International Relations at Chengchi University in Taipei, said the diplomatic break was timed to embarrass Tsai after she returned from her high-profile trip.

台北政治大学国际关系学院高级研究员丁树帆表示，外交中断是为了让蔡英文在高调访问结束后回国感到尴尬。



Since May 2016, Burkina Faso, the Dominican Republic, Panama and Sao Tome and Principe have all switched their recognition from Taipei to Beijing.

自2016年5月以来，布基纳法索、多米尼加共和国、巴拿马以及圣多美和普林西比都将外交承认的对象从台湾转移到了中国。

Kids, to recognize Taiwan (China Taipei) as a legitimate country is a violation to the UN Resolution 2758 in 1971.

小朋友们，把台湾（中国台北）视作一个合法国家是违反联合国安理会在1971年决定的2758号决议的。

Tsai may want to boast about visiting NASA, but number of countries recognizing Taiwan is down to 17 and that include many islands nations like Nauru, with population around 13,000 or Tuvalu, population around 11,000..
Tsai and the DPP who are traitors are a pox on Taiwan. LMAO

蔡英文想拿她参观美国宇航局的事儿来吹b，但事实是只有17个国家承认台湾的国家身份了，其中和多国家还是岛国比如人口只有一万三的瑙鲁、一万一的图瓦卢...
我吊都笑歪了，蔡英文和民进党可真是台湾之瘤。
