Taiwan has lost another diplomatic ally as Nauru, a small Pacific Island, cut ties in favor of China, leaving Taiwan with only 12 remaining allies. This loss diminishes Taiwan's diplomatic clout, limiting its representation in international forums like the United Nations.
Nauru has switched its diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China, reducing Taiwan's diplomatic allies to 12. China claims Taiwan as its territory and has been gaining diplomatic allies from the island. The move is seen as a blow to Taiwan, especially following recent elections, and has drawn disappointment from the United States. Taiwan now has official ties with 11 countries and the Vatican.
