(Observer Network News) Not long after Nauru’s lightning cut off of diplomatic relations, the Taiwanese authorities have reported another “diplomatic country” that has undergone a birth change. On January 21st, Taiwan’s United News Network reported that Tuvalu, the so-called Pacific “friend” of the Taiwanese authorities, will hold elections. However, Tuvalu’s “Ambassador to Taiwan” Bikenibeu Paeniu stated that there are rumors within Tuvalu that they may follow Nauru and recognize the People’s Republic of China after the elections, which is equivalent to cutting off diplomatic ties with the Taiwanese authorities. The head of Taiwan’s foreign affairs department, Wu Zhaoxie, quickly responded that the Taiwan authorities and Tuvalu have a “stable friendship”.

（观察者网讯）距瑙鲁闪电“断交”没过去多久，台当局又一“邦交国”传出生变消息。台湾“联合新闻网”1月21日报道称，台当局所谓的太平洋“友邦”图瓦卢将举行大选，但图瓦卢“驻台大使”潘恩钮（Bikenibeu Paeniu）表示，图瓦卢国内传出可能会在大选之后跟进瑙鲁，承认中华人民共和国，等同于与台当局“断交”。台外事部门负责人吴钊燮赶忙回应称，台当局与图瓦卢“邦谊稳固”。
《澳大利亚人报》消息称，根据潘恩钮的说法，有来自图瓦卢的消息人士告诉他，图瓦卢可能在1月26日大选后跟随瑙鲁外交转向，承认中华人民共和国，澳大利亚及其盟友伙伴密切关注局势，加强对图瓦卢的支援。“联合新闻网”称，这等于与台“断交”。
消息传出后，台外事部门负责人吴钊燮对澳媒宣称，台当局与图瓦卢、帕劳、马绍尔群岛三个太平洋国家“邦谊稳固”。台外事部门21日宣称，台湾与图瓦卢自1979年“建交”以来，在多项领域密切合作，图瓦卢也支持台湾参与联合国、世界卫生组织（WHO）及联合国气候变化纲要公约（UNFCCC）等重要国际组织，双方珍惜彼此“坚实友谊”，未来将在各领域中持续强化合作。
1月15日，中国外交部发言人就瑙鲁政府宣布同台湾“断交”、愿同中国复交答记者问时表示，瑙鲁作为主权独立国家，宣布承认一个中国原则，同台湾当局断绝所谓“外交关系”，愿同中国恢复外交关系，中方对瑙鲁政府决定表示赞赏和欢迎。世界上只有一个中国，台湾是中国领土不可分割的一部分，中华人民共和国政府是代表全中国的唯一合法政府。这已为联合国大会2758号决议所确认，是国际社会普遍共识。
