🌎🇹🇼🇨🇳 Central America parliament expels Taiwan, makes China permanent observer
The Central American Parliament on Monday voted to expel Taiwan after more than two decades as a permanent observer and replace it with China.
The six-nation parliament, known as Parlacen, met in the Nicaraguan capital Managua where local legislators proposed adding China. Taiwan's foreign ministry said it had decided to withdraw from Parlacen immediately in the interests of upholding "national dignity."
In a statement, Parlacen cited the United Nations' 1971 expulsion of Taiwan in favor of China, saying this deemed Taiwan to be a "province of mainland China, which disqualifies it from participating as an independent country".
Guatemala is the only Parlacen member that still recognizes Taiwan.
