Palau sits on the front line of competition for geopolitical influence between the United States and China in the Pacific Ocean .

The tiny island nation is one of the few countries in the world that has official diplomatic relations with Taiwan as well as close ties with the U.S. Under the leadership of President Surangel Whipps Jr. , Palau ’s ties with Washington have deepened.

President Whipps Jr. said it’s important for Palau to uphold its “special relationship” with the U.S. Some Palauan people, including his opponent, say the government needs to be more transparent about the purpose and potential impact of military expansion in the country.

Some political observers say the outcome of November 's election won’t significantly change Palau 's foreign policy direction.
