China Fumes Over Somaliland's Warm Ties with Taiwan

 The Wall Street Journal published on 11 August 2022 an article titled "China Fumes Over Somaliland's Warm Ties with Taiwan" by Michael M. Phillips.

China's ambassador to Somalia asked to visit Somaliland, which declared its independence from Somalia in 1991 and subsequently established warm ties with Taiwan.  Somaliland turned down the ambassador's request when it appeared he wanted to use the visit to build support to sabotage Somaliland's ties with Taiwan.
