Ortega had maintained ties with Taipei after he returned to office in 2007 until last year. In response to Ortega’s win, Washington sanctioned Nicaragua, which was probably why Ortega allied himself with China and Russia, Wu said. The termination of ties with Nicaragua left the nation with 14 diplomatic allies worldwide.
