Description
"The whole world should support the one-China policy," says one resident while another says:"I think this decision is an inevitable choice for development in keeping with the trend of the times."
Nicaragua inked a deal on Friday switching diplomatic allegiance from Taiwan to China in a political coup for Beijing as it seeks to isolate the democratic island it has vowed to one day seize.
The announcement leaves Taiwan with just 14 diplomatic allies but comes as Taipei strengthens ties with multiple unofficial Western friends including the United States.
