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.
Palau 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.
Voters are mostly concerned about a weak economy and cost of living crisis. But outside Palau, the election symbolises the growing tussle for influence by Washington and Beijing playing out across the Pacific.

A snorkeler in Jellyfish Lake, Palau, Micronesia encounters Mastigias Jellyfish, said to be "stingless."
The Pacific island nation of Palau has become home to the sixth largest marine sanctuary in the world.
The Micronesian reserve, now the largest in the Pacific, will permit no fishing or mining. Palau also established the world's first shark sanctuary in 2009.
The tiny island nation has set aside 500,000 square kilometres -- 80 percent -- of its maritime territory, for full protection. That's the highest percentage of an exclusive economic zone devoted to marine conservation by any country in the world. (FOTO: DUKAS/PHOTOSHOT)
