China News Service, Beijing, December 11 (Reporter Zhang Chenyi) On December 10, China and Nicaragua signed the "Joint Communiqué on the Restoration of Diplomatic Relations between the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Nicaragua" in Tianjin.
In this regard, international public opinion is highly concerned and believes that this matter is in line with the trend of the times.
The Associated Press pointed out in a corresponding analysis article that the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and Nepal has aggravated Taiwan's "diplomatic isolation" on the international stage.
Jason Malchak, director of the Latin American Center of the Atlantic Council, a well-known American think tank, pointed out that the number of countries with diplomatic relations is very important to Taiwan.
"If the numbers turn to China in the future, I won't be surprised." Antonio c. Hsiang, a Chilean scholar who studies the relationship between Taiwan and Latin America, said frankly: "Everyone has seen it very early, (Taiwan) This kind of'diplomatic' relationship is unsustainable."
The New York Times quoted the statement of Chinese diplomats in its report that Nicaragua's decision is in line with the trend of the times and the will of the people.
The Russian Satellite News Agency published an article titled "Nicaragua and Taiwan "severe diplomatic relations" and set an example for other countries."
The article quoted some scholars saying that the recognition of the one-China principle in Latin America is a general trend and aspirations of the people.
Boris Mardnov, a professor at the Moscow Institute of International Relations and an expert on Latin American issues, believes that the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and Nigeria is predictable.
Nicaragua is implementing a fairly realistic policy on the international stage, trying to defend its own national interests. Obviously, many countries hope to develop relations with China.
The article further pointed out that the strong appeal of the United States to expand international space in the Taiwan region and support the Taiwan authorities no longer works.
Nicaragua’s decision may become a catalyst for other countries.
After citing examples of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Solomon Islands and the restoration of diplomatic relations with Nicaragua, Al Jazeera pointed out in the report that the reason why Nicaragua changed its position may be because it faces a major opportunity.
In fact, on the whole, China is becoming more and more confident.
Reuters emphatically quoted Nicaragua’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the government of the People’s Republic of China is the sole legal government representing the whole of China, and Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory.
Reuters briefly introduced the international and domestic situation facing Nicaragua and pointed out that Nicaragua's move was not surprising.
Reuters also introduced that since 2016, several countries in Latin America have begun to "sever diplomatic relations" with Taiwan and recognize the one-China principle.
