In 20th century countries of Central America and the Caribbean became a part of the Taiwanese sphere of interest. They recognized the ROC instead of the PRC and received financial help. Beijing expressed no objection because small and poor countries of this region shown no potential. But times have changed: Chinese ambitions as well as demands grew more and more. In 1990-s, already well-developed China established stable presence in Latin America. And now almost 20 years later it swung its arm to Central America and the Caribbean. But why Beijing became so interested in the region which it ignored for so long time?
