Taiwan's Diplomatic Setback: Nauru Establishes Ties with China
TL;DR Summary
Nauru has severed diplomatic ties with Taiwan and recognized China, leaving Taiwan with fewer than a dozen allies. The move comes just after Taiwan's ruling party won a historic third term, and is seen as China's retaliation against Taiwan's democratic elections. This marks another win for Beijing in its campaign to poach countries that recognize Taiwan, and demonstrates China's ambitions to shape the South Pacific region.
