The presidential election in Taiwan, won by the Democratic Progressive Party's (DPP) William Lai, has intensified tensions with China. Taiwan emphasizes its separate, democratic identity and cherishes its formal diplomatic relationship with Tuvalu. However, former ally Nauru severed diplomatic relations with Taiwan, prompting concerns about other Pacific nations, such as Tuvalu, shifting their alliance to China. In the Philippines, President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. stated that the country will not cooperate with the International Criminal Court's investigation into the previous administration's anti-narcotics campaign. Additionally, Marcos expressed support for amending the country's constitution to fit the globalized world and reiterated the commitment to the One-China policy, indicating a stance against Taiwan independence.
