1 1/2 consecutive paragraphs:

"Swaziland said its relationship with Taiwan is based on mutual interests, not on money.

" 'We get outrageous proposals telling us, "if you sign with Beijing we'll offer you $50 billion or even more," ' [Burkina Faso Foreign Minister Alpha] Barry said in an interview in the capital, Ouagadougou, this month. 'Taiwan is our friend and our partner. We're happy and we see no reason to reconsider the relationship' ")
