Its parliament has swiftly approved a motion to restore diplomatic relations with Beijing, much to Washington's disappointment and anger. In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan talks to Yang Xiyu, a senior research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, to discuss the timing of Nauru's momentous decision and its repercussions in the South Pacific region and beyond.

Yang also points at Washington's purely opportunistic attitude toward Taipei and reiterates that Taiwan is part of China.
