聖多美普林西比及中國大陸本（105）年12月26日在北京簽署恢復外交關係聯合公報， 中華民國政府嚴正聲明如下：
聖多美普林西比民主共和國為龐大財政需求因素，且中國大陸為操弄所謂「一中原則」，以要求聖國承諾不與中華民國維持任何官方關係為條件，同意「全面支持與幫助」聖國經社發展及民生需要，雙方於12月26日在北京簽署恢復外交關係聯合公報。對於聖國政府惑於中國大陸金錢外交攻勢，罔顧多年來我方為聖國人民衛生福祉的重大貢獻，中華民國政府表示強烈失望與遺憾。
中華民國做為一個主權獨立國家的事實，絕非聖多美普林西比與中國大陸復交公報所謂一中原則所能片面否定。我國做為負責任的國際合作夥伴，仍將全力深化鞏固與友邦之緊密合作情誼。
外交部及所有駐外館處當持續提高警覺，密注嚴防中國大陸壓縮我國國際空間之作為，捍衛國家尊嚴及全民利益。政府維護國家生存發展之信念與決心，絕不會因外力打壓而有絲毫動搖

Response to São Tomé and Príncipe’s re-establishment of diplomatic ties with mainland China
The Republic of China (Taiwan) issues the following statement concerning the signing of a joint communique between São Tomé and Príncipe and mainland China on re-establishing diplomatic ties on December 26 in Beijing:
The Republic of China (Taiwan) expresses strong disappointment and regret that the government of São Tomé and Príncipe has been lured by the dollar diplomacy campaign of mainland China and ignored the years of major contributions the Republic of China (Taiwan) has made to the improvement of the health and welfare of the people of São Tomé and Príncipe.
Mainland China, taking advantage of the massive financial difficulties faced by São Tomé and Príncipe, in its manipulation of the “one China principle” and dollar diplomacy, has demanded that São Tomé and Príncipe sever all ties with the Republic of China (Taiwan) as a precondition for “providing full support and assistance” to São Tomé and Príncipe for its economic and social needs.
The fact that the Republic of China (Taiwan) is an independent, sovereign nation cannot be denied by the so-called “one China principle” mentioned in the said communique.
As a responsible and reliable partner of the international community, the Republic of China (Taiwan) will continue to work to strengthen and deepen relations of cooperation and friendship with our diplomatic partners.
