Guatemalan leader affirms friendship with Taiwan, but will they withstand Chinas pressure to break away? Taiwan military news.

 

Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Saturday reaffirmed his country’s friendship with Taiwan and announced a plan to visit Taiwan at the end of the month during President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) trip to the Central American ally. He reiterated Guatemala’s “firm promise” to continue voicing support for Taiwan on the international stage, calling on the world to acknowledge Taiwan’s sovereignty and realize its true value, adding: “Go Taiwan, long live Taiwan.” Taiwan is the only country that has always stood by Guatemala, for better or for worse, never abandoning the nation, he said at a banquet held by Tsai’s delegation on Saturday night to thank Guatemala for its hospitality.

However China has a long history of paying under the table, leaders of countries to side with China rather than Taiwan. It may be just a matter of time, before Guatemala is on Chinas side. Its happened a lot over the last few decades, usual poor tiny African nations desperate for money, were most easily persuaded to abandon Taiwan for Chinas fist full of money.

Taiwan F16 Fighter Pilot National Hero For Confronting Chinese Invading Jet On Nov 17, 2020, Taiwan World News.

 

On Tuesday the 17th of November 2020, Colonel Chiang Cheng-chih (蔣正志), took off from the Hualien Air Base at 6:05pm for a scheduled nighttime training exercise, but disappeared from radar screens two minutes later. Now Taiwan government is saying that it was a routine training exercise...but I was in the USAF and I have heard those words before...when a skirmish happens over boarders and the governments want to keep it out of the world news so that no wars are started over it. Its clear to me and any other military person who heard the news...what really happened here. 

Let me tell you. A Chinese military fighter jet crossed the Taiwan boarder and came very close to flying over the edge of Taiwan. The Colonel wanted to take control of the situation himself and went out to confront the Chinese jet. Sadly a dog fight ensued and the Chinese jet already had permission to fire, but the Colonel had been denied permission to fire unless fired upon. Needless to say, it was a one shot fight and the Colonel crashed his F16 into the ocean off Hualien. 

Colonel Chiang Cheng-chih (蔣正志) is a national hero of Taiwan and deserves to be given Taiwans highest honor. He died trying to protect Taiwan from invading forces. He is a hero now and forever! So...I write this to let the world know what really happened. Colonel Chiang Cheng-chih (蔣正志) is an inspiration to all Taiwanese everywhere. China did not silence him! China did however make him into a MARTYR. Martyrdom does not end something, it only begins something huge and unstoppable!

Taiwan, LET FREEDOM RING!!!
