Foreign media reported that on April 10, when President Whaps of the Pacific island country of Palau delivered a speech at an Australian think tank, he made outrageous remarks, claiming that Palau would not "give in" to China's diplomatic pressure and would always be a "friend" of Taiwan, saying "once married, they will always be together until death do them part." As one of the few so-called "diplomatic allies" of Taiwan, Palau's economy has suffered heavily due to its unfriendly stance toward mainland China, with a sharp decrease in tourists. Whaps continued to make bold claims, accusing mainland China of exerting pressure and frequently hyping up the "China threat theory." This tiny country with barely any military personnel dared to challenge the world's second-largest economy and a permanent member of the UN Security Council, which was utterly absurd. Where does it get the audacity to act so presumptuously and lack self-awareness? Such behavior is clearly self-destructive and laughable.
