People living in Taiwan are certainly conscious of their awkward diplomatic situation, which has been a key issue over the last several presidential elections. | |

Two way U.S. trade with the ROC approaches $100bn, although mainland China is now a larger factor for Taiwan. With Tonga it's something like $20m (1/5000 as much), which can hardly support a consular staff let alone merit spies etc. | |

Even the US chooses not to maintain facilities in Nauru, Kiribati, Tonga, or Tuvalu; all consular services for those countries are handled by the embassy in Fiji. | |
