Taiwan's response

The thing is China actually has the power to punish Somaliland. They can mess with foreign aid, pour investment into the Federal government and SSC especially the Lasqoray port, and block a future vote of recognition at the UN. Its not wise to anger China especially when you dont have the power to withstand the consequences.

SL doesn’t receive foreign aid from China. Federal govt has an insurgency to fight, barely controls territory close to the capital and foreign occupational forces to remove. Lasqoray is an irrelevant village of roughly 8k souls and will never be a comptetor to Berbera which serves West & Central SL (Hargeisa alone is 1.5 million) and parts of DDS. SL isn’t getting recognition, everybody knows it so that’s not a problem either. You have zero understanding of Horner & International geopolitics
