Summary of situation in Tuvalu. It seems to depend on who will be the prime minister. Kausea Natano, the former prime minister, was pro-Taiwan. Among candidates for the new prime minister, Seve Paienu is "open to a switch", but Enele Sopoaga is not. Selection of the new prime minister is getting delayed due to bad weather.

And what happens if the nations that switch change their minds to still recognize Taiwan? How can that be interpreted?

@MystistStudio If a nation changes their recognition to the PRC, the market will resolve at that time, I won’t keep it open to see if they change back.
