Nauru severing ties with Taiwan'on the right side of history'

The one-China principle is a fundamental principle that cannot be traded and a prevailing international consensus, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, dismissing Taiwan's claims that Nauru severed ties with the island over financial interests.

The Parliament of Nauru unanimously passed a resolution on Tuesday to support, endorse and affirm the Nauru government's decision to resume diplomatic relations with China.

"This once again shows that the one-China principle is where the global opinion trends and where the arc of history bends," said Mao Ning, a spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry, at a regular news briefing in Beijing.
