The Republic of Nauru is located in the Micronesian archipelago in the west-central South Pacific Ocean, known as the "Paradise Island". With an area of only 24, Nauru is the smallest island nation in the world. Nauru is far from the mainland, about 4,000 kilometers from Sydney, Australia's largest city. Nauru is a coral island, formed by the accumulation of polyp exoskeletons living in the tropics, and generally speaking, the terrain of coral islands is very low, Nauru is only 61 meters above sea level at its highest point, and in many places it is less than 10 meters above sea level.
In the 1990s, Nauru became a tax haven and money laundering centre. Since 2005, Nauru has received assistance from Australia** in return for establishing a detention facility to deal with refugees who enter Australia illegally.
In the middle of this month, Nauru** issued a statement announcing its recognition of the one-China principle, severing so-called "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan, and being willing to resume diplomatic relations with China. The international community has paid close attention to Nauru's "diplomatic turn" and believes that this is another blow to the efforts of the Taiwan authorities to maintain a "diplomatic ally." If some people continue to advocate "provoking" cross-strait confrontation, then Nauru's "severance of diplomatic relations" will only be the beginning.
Nauru** issued a statement announcing its recognition of the one-China principle, stressing that the move was in the "best interests of the Republic of Nauru and the people of Nauru".。The statement pointed out that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. Nauru will sever its "diplomatic relations" with Taiwan with immediate effect, and will no longer have any official relations with Taiwan and will not conduct any official exchanges.
As the old saying goes, "The world is bustling, all for profit; Although we can't be mercenary, the size of the interests will greatly affect the exchanges between people, between companies, and even between countries. In the international arena, the relationship between countries, large and small, is also a balance of interests to a large extent.
