Taiwan’s foreign ministry has expressed disappoinment at the news that Pacific island nation of Nauru has decided to sever diplomatic ties with it in favour of China. Nauru’s decision comes just a matter of days after Taiwanese voters elected William Lai Ching, with Lai considered a "trouble maker" by China. Nauru’s decision is seen as a blow to efforts by the federal government to counter China’s growing influence in the Pacific region after it signed a security pact with the Solomon Islands.
