"Nauru's Diplomatic Shift: Impact on Taiwan and US-China Relations"
TL;DR
Nauru has switched its diplomatic ties from Taiwan to China, prompting Taiwan to sever relations in response. Taiwan accused Beijing of buying off Nauru, while a Taiwanese official claimed that China is offering Nauru $100 million annually. The move comes days after Taiwan's presidential election and is seen as a result of economic inducement by China. Nauru's decision leaves Taiwan with 12 remaining diplomatic allies, including the Vatican, Guatemala, and Paraguay.
