107 years gone: Panama breaks diplomatic ties with ROC

Oldest friend, FTA signer…puff!

Taipei, June 13 (CNA) Panama, one of Taiwan’s allies in Central America, announced Tuesday that it has decided to switch diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing, effectively cutting off official ties that it has had with the Republic of China (now more commonly known as Taiwan) for more than a century.

The announcement was made by President Juan Carlos Varela on Monday evening in the Western Hemisphere.

Trump style, in a storm of tweets…
