洪都拉斯移民官员已传唤或对41名中国公民进行审查，此前他们对首都的商铺以及该国南部一家由中国国有企业承包商承建的医院进行了检查。
Honduran migration officials have summoned or placed under review 41 Chinese nationals after inspecting shops in the capital and a hospital being built by a state-owned contractor from China in the south of the country.
国家移民局的工作人员与警察和情报人员合作，在特古西加尔巴的孪生城市、主要商业区科马亚圭拉的54家商铺对86名中国公民进行了问询，并告知其中25人前往报到接受进一步的文件核查。
Teams from the National Migration Institute, working with police and intelligence officers, interviewed 86 Chinese citizens at 54 shops in Comayaguela, Tegucigalpa’s twin city and main commercial district, and told 25 of them to report for further document checks.
移民官员还前往南部的乔卢特卡，中国上海建工集团正在那里承建一家地区医院，他们发现现场128名中国工人中有16人身份状态不合规。该机构尚未说明他们的证件存在什么问题，也未说明其中是否有人将被驱逐出境。
Migration officers also went to Choluteca, in the south, where China’s SFECO Group is building a regional hospital, and found that 16 of the 128 Chinese workers on site were in an irregular situation. The institute has not said what was wrong with their papers or whether any of them will be deported.
此次检查正值纳斯里·阿斯富拉就任总统九个月之际。阿斯富拉在竞选中主张恢复与台湾的关系，而其前任希奥马拉·卡斯特罗于2023年3月断绝了与台湾的关系，转而与中国建交。
The inspections come nine months into the presidency of Nasry Asfura, who campaigned on restoring relations with Taiwan, which his predecessor Xiomara Castro dropped in favour of Beijing in March 2023.
阿斯富拉此后下令审查卡斯特罗与中国签署的协议，但今年6月，其外交部否认与台北方面进行过任何官方会谈。
Asfura has since ordered a review of the agreements Castro signed with China, but in June his foreign ministry denied holding any official talks with Taipei.
10月初的一个假期周期间，首都的商业大道上挂出了写有“特古西加尔巴和科马亚圭拉向中国商铺说不”的横幅，目前尚不清楚是谁挂上去的。
Banners reading “Tegucigalpa and Comayaguela say no to Chinese shops” went up along the capital’s commercial avenues during a holiday week in early October, and it was unclear who put them there.
几天后，市政府对70家中国人拥有的商店启动了自行调查，此前洪都拉斯店主抱怨他们的竞争对手以低于成本的价格销售商品。
Days later, city hall opened its own inquiry into 70 Chinese-owned stores, after Honduran shopkeepers complained that their rivals sold goods below cost.
负责此次检查的市政警察法官弗雷迪·卡萨索拉告诉TSi广播公司，“这些商家中大约68%到70%在违规经营”，那些未能完成合规整改的商家可能被暂时或永久关闭。
Fredy Casasola, the municipal police judge running the checks, told broadcaster TSi that “around 68 to 70 per cent of these businesses are operating irregularly” and that those which failed to regularise could be shut temporarily or for good.
市政府和移民局均未说明移民官员到访的商铺是否在这70家之列。
Neither city hall nor the migration institute has said whether the shops visited by migration officers are among the 70.
正在开展此项调查的市长胡安·迭戈·塞拉亚表示，国籍在这些检查中不起任何作用。
Mayor Juan Diego Zelaya, whose administration is running the inquiry, said nationality played no part in the checks.
“我们不会让遵守法律的人在与可能在法律之外运作的人的竞争中处于不利地位，”他说。
“We will not allow those who comply with the law to be at a disadvantage against those who may be operating outside it,” he said.
医院合同在卡斯特罗时期签署。作为国有上海建工集团的一部分，SFECO于2024年10月签署了该医院合同。
Hospital contract signed under Castro Part of the state-owned Shanghai Construction Group, SFECO signed the hospital contract in October 2024.
该项目价值超过1亿美元，原计划于去年11月完工，但目前仍在施工中。
The project is worth more than US$100 million and was due to be finished in November last year, but it is still under construction.
自去年以来，其员工队伍一直受到审查，当时《埃尔埃拉尔多》报获取了卫生部记录，显示现场工作人员中有三分之一是中国国民，其中约有一半是木匠、钢筋工和砌砖工。
Its workforce has been under scrutiny since last year, when El Heraldo newspaper obtained health ministry records showing that Chinese nationals made up a third of the staff on site, about half of them carpenters, rebar workers and bricklayers.
“来工作的中国员工有特定条件，他们必须是我们在洪都拉斯没有的专业人员，”副卫生部长何塞·卡斯蒂略在三月份表示，并补充说他在检查期间曾看到中国工人在砌砖。
“There were specific conditions for the Chinese staff who came to work to be specialised personnel that we did not have in Honduras,” Deputy Health Minister Jose Castillo said in March, adding that he had seen Chinese workers laying bricks during inspections.
在卡斯特罗时期负责移民研究所的威尔逊·帕斯表示，这些工人是合法进入该国的。
Wilson Paz, who headed the migration institute under Castro, has said the workers entered the country legally.
国会在五月通过的一项决议要求国家机构审计华人商店的税收、进口情况以及员工的移民身份。
A resolution passed by Congress in May told state agencies to audit Chinese shops for taxes, imports and the migration status of their staff.
该决议的发起人、国民党议员马里奥·佩雷斯表示，与北京的三年关系带来了零售店而非大规模工业投资。
Its sponsor, National Party lawmaker Mario Perez, said three years of ties with Beijing had brought retail stores rather than large industrial investment.
移民局局长卡洛斯·科尔德罗后来告诉议员们，自2014年以来，有24,837名中国国民非正规进入洪都拉斯，其中2023年出现激增。
Migration chief Carlos Cordero later told lawmakers that 24,837 Chinese nationals had entered Honduras irregularly since 2014, with a spike in 2023.
