Nauru cuts diplomatic ties with Taiwan in favour of China

One of Taiwan's last diplomatic allies has cut ties with the island in favour of Beijing, just days after a new president was voted in in Taipei.

Nauru, a tiny Micronesian island, was just one of 12 countries that kept diplomatic ties with Taipei.

But in recent years, Beijing - which insists Taiwan is part of China - has been poaching its diplomatic allies.

Taiwan suggests this latest loss is related to the weekend's election results, which angered China.
