Malawi cuts diplomatic ties with Taiwan
Malawi cut its diplomatic ties with Taiwan, the government announced on Monday, drawing a bitter response from Taiwanese officials who accused the Chinese government of luring the Malawians into its camp with $6 billion in aid and other inducements.
China has become one of the most important development partners of Malawi thanks to efforts made by the two governments since the establishment of bilateral relations one year ago, Chinese ambassador to Malawi Lin Songtian said Thursday.
