The other November 5 election: China and the US look on as Palau votes

Brothers-in-law face off in a presidential battle over the economy, cost of living and relations with global powers

The small Pacific country is one of 12 in the world that has diplomatic ties with Taiwan instead of China and will head to the polls on 5 November, the same day as the US.
