Honduras pressures Chinese firms amid stalled Taiwan pledge; Typhoon Champi nears Taiwan

Honduran migration officials have summoned or placed under review 41 Chinese nationals after inspecting shops and a state-built hospital, signaling pressure on Chinese commercial interests while President Castro has not followed through on a campaign pledge to switch diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China. The move suggests bilateral friction over the unfulfilled pledge, though the exact trigger and whether it escalates into formal action remain unclear. Separately, Super Typhoon Champi is approaching Taiwan, posing a direct threat to the island's infrastructure and population.
