TAIPEI - Taiwan said on Friday it has cut official ties with the Pacific island nation of Kiribati, losing another ally amid Chinese pressure on nations with diplomatic relations with the self-ruled island.
The Kiribati president’s office and China’s foreign ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Since Tsai took office, China has increased pressure on Taiwan, including with regular Chinese bomber patrols around the island. China suspects Tsai of pushing for Taiwan’s formal independence, a red line for Beijing.
