## In short:
Kiribati's parliament is set to vote on a bill that would amend its constitution to prevent future governments from switching diplomatic recognition back to Taiwan.
Kiribati has switched diplomatic recognition between China and Taiwan three times, with the latest in 2019.
The bill does not mention either China or Taiwan specifically, but specifies that diplomatic relations must only be maintained with UN members or permanent observers, which would exclude Taiwan.
