China on Tuesday said it "highly appreciates" the Solomon Islands' decision to nix diplomatic ties with Taiwan, a move that leaves the self-governing island with recognition from just 16 nations.
"The Chinese side highly appreciates the Solomon Islands government's decision to ... sever the so-called 'diplomatic relations' with Taiwan authorities," said Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying in an online statement.
"We welcome the Solomon Islands in seizing a historical opportunity," she added. (AFP)
