The Solomon Islands form diplomatic relations with China after breaking ties with Taiwan, giving Beijing a new victory in its campaign to isolate the self-ruled island it claims as part of its territory.

Solomon Islands Foreign Minister Jeremiah Manele, left, and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi shake hands at a ceremony to mark the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Solomon Islands and China at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing, Saturday, Sept. 21, 2019.

The two governments announced in a joint statement they were forming diplomatic ties “in keeping with the interests and desire of the two peoples.” Taiwan and China split in 1949 after the Communist Party won a civil war on the mainland. They have extensive commercial ties but no official relations.

So all that blood to save the Solomon Islands in WWII for them to forget & chum up w/China. Never forget.

We should end the farce. China is causing turmoil in South America and Cuba. Fully support Taiwan and tell China FU. Look at their trade behavior. This is a dirty regime. Stop acting like it is anything other than communist.

President Xi wins again!

Sounds like the Fiji military dictator coup out of Asia like India claiming Pacific Islander traditonal territory. Left unchecked and US sanctions violated by US government. Sounds like a plan....

What's the Solomon Islands' chief export? Solomon Islanders? How does that hurt Taiwan?

Not only China winning! U.S losing at the same time! So much for China bashing & yellow peril!

This is why the tariffs is worth the pain in the US. China needs to be checked...

OMG, this sounds like meddling, why China is doing this, making this country its own vassal? UNACCEPTABLE! It's allowed only to the exceptional USA.
