Taking one's sugar daddy for granted
That Taiwan hoses down its friends with money is hardly a revelation, but they are pushing their luck in Paraguay:
VP elect Federicao Franco: "I’ve met with authorities at the Taiwanese embassy and they confirmed to me that they will donate US$71 million to the country when the [Fernando] Lugo government assumes office on Aug. 15".
And this is what Taipei has to say:
"The incoming Lugo government has expressed its wish [for the donation], but we haven’t discussed any details yet".
And $71m is more than double the money Taipei was waving at Port Moresby, as noted earlier in the month.
