CHINA-TAIWAN: EL SALVADOR SWITCHES RECOGNITION TO PRC

El Salvador on August 7, 2018 officially established diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China after severing ties with Taiwan. Xinhua reported Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi as saying “History will prove that forging diplomatic relations with China is in the fundamental and long-term interests of the Salvadorean people.”

(Comment: El Salvador is the fifth country to switch recognition from Taiwan to the PRC in a little over two years. Taiwan now has formal diplomatic ties with only 17 countries  many of them small, less developed nations in Central America and the Pacific, including Belize and Nauru.)
