The Solomon Islands switches diplomatic recognition from Taiwan to China, becoming the latest country to leave the dwindling Taiwanese camp
Taiwan's termination of relations with the Solomon Islands comes after the pacific nation's decision to switch diplomatic recognition to China. Taipei is accusing Beijing of using"dollar diplomacy" to buy off its few remaining allies.
The switch is a major coup for Beijing just weeks before it celebrates the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.Taiwan's Foreign Minister Joseph Wu said Taipei had learned that the cabinet of Solomons' Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare had made the decision to recognise Beijing earlier Monday.
He had publicly said China was seen as more likely to provide significant infrastructure funding to the impoverished nation, where less than 50 percent of the population have access to electricity. In the last decade only a handful of nations remained loyal to Taiwan, largely in Latin America and the Pacific.
