The Republic of Nauru made headlines this week by officially recognizing the one-China principle and ending its diplomatic ties with the Taiwan region. 🇳🇷🇨🇳 China applauded the move, calling it a 'step toward mutual respect' and pledging to strengthen bilateral cooperation in areas like trade, tourism, and cultural exchange.
CGTN spoke with locals in Nauru to gauge reactions. At a bustling supermarket, a supervisor grinned as he shared: 'I’ve got loads of Chinese friends—they’re like family! Our doors are wide open for more visitors. Let’s swap stories over dumplings!' 🥟✨ His enthusiasm mirrors the island’s push to deepen people-to-people bonds.
With its coral reefs and vibrant culture, Nauru is now eyeing a tourism boom as ties with the Chinese mainland heat up. Could this tiny Pacific nation become the next must-visit spot? 🌴📸
