The first line here seems a bit outdated to me; I presume relations with Vietnam and Cuba are mentioned because of their (still) Communist status, but why is Russia included?

[edit] Vanuatu, West Papua, anticolonialism and enough One China

It would be nice if the article mentioned (at least) the Vanuatu's pattern of support for anti-colonialist struggles and indigenous rights. The government has consistently supported OPM against Indonesia. OPM has an office in Vila, its only foreign representation in the Pacific, as far as I know. I think it took a similar stand on Timor. This is linked to the independence movement's role in founding the Vanuatu state (also barely mentioned in the main article).

It would also be nice if the minor flap over the recognition of Taiwan were reduced in proportion to the overall article. All in all, it was resolved in a few weeks, right?
