Nicaragua breaks ties with Taiwan

Nicaragua has severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan and declared its support for Beijing’s „One-China policy“. The Central American nation’s foreign minister, Denis Moncada, declared in a televised address that the People’s Republic of China was the „only legitimate government“ representing „all of China.“ Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen confirmed this on Twitter. „I would like to stress that no amount of external pressure can shake our commitment to freedom, human rights, the rule of law & to partnering with the international democratic community as a force for good,“ Tsai wrote.
