From Reconnection to Revolution: Nauru’s China Chapter
Nauruan President David Adeang is betting big on collaboration with China, calling it a game-changer for the Pacific island nation’s future. Since resuming diplomatic ties with Beijing in January 2024 under the one-China principle, Nauru has joined 182 other countries in what Adeang describes as a 'transformational partnership.'
Building Bridges (Literally!) 🏗️
In an exclusive interview with China Media Group, Adeang highlighted infrastructure projects already underway—think upgraded ports, renewable energy systems, and tech-driven agriculture. 'This isn’t just about concrete and steel,' he said. 'It’s about creating opportunities for our youth and securing Nauru’s place in a connected world.'
