Beijing offered more than Taiwan in order to switch.
China has flipped Panama and where I live Costa Rica. Just a game in order to have more votes at United Nations.
We got a brand new stadium to switch from Taiwan to China. Taiwan only had given us a nice bridge.
Now China also is bidding on construction projects, bringing in cheap workers then shipping them back when done.

just politics.
Your country doesn't have to put up with that temporary imported labor thing, you know. They can write into the contract, that the Chinese have to hire a certain percentage of their labor from the host country. But then, I guess, maybe you wouldn't get a nice bridge or stadium? You may have more leverage than you think. If they want your vote in the UN badly enough, they'll agree to your terms.
