A
Nicaragua
B
Belize
C
Honduras
D
Bolivia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -China has tried hard to stop any international recognition of the island and only 14 nations worldwide currently have formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Beijing often poaches Taipei’s diplomatic allies by promising increased trade, loans and investment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, 181 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since 1972, Japan has not recognized the Republic of China in Taiwan as a legitimate government. Japan’s official policy towards Taiwan is one of “working relations on a nongovernmental basis.” This approach makes it nearly impossible for Japan to coordinate a military response with Taiwan.
