本會黃奎博秘書長投書聯合報針對聖國宣布與我國斷交提出四點看法(本文不代表本協會立場)，歡迎點閱，全文連結：http://udn.com/news/story/7339/2184471
......在兩岸與外交已無「九二共識」和「外交休兵」保護傘的今日，聖國與我斷交很可能會引起我若干邦交國的遐想，積極地與中國大陸取得默契，在關鍵時刻棄我而去。民進黨政府若想避免此類一而再、再而三的外交打擊，參考兩岸過去互動的政治默契如何導致外交場域上的暫時和平，會是很務實的做法。
[此次斷交]不禁令人再次感嘆，國際社會世道炎涼。如果沒有經濟或軍事等堅實基礎作為後盾，且如果沒有美國的奧援及和緩的兩岸關係，民主與人權等等的軟實力，暫時還無法讓我國在外交上獲得雖不滿意但勉強接受的空間。無論如何，我國須先有和善的外交空間與良好的經貿實力，才有生存發展並與他國在全球化舞台競爭的本錢。
Secretary-General Huang Kuibo of our Association submitted a letter to the joint newspaper to put forward four views on the announcement of the Holy Nation's break of diplomatic relations with our country (this article does not represent the position of the Association). Welcome to read
Today, when there is no longer a "92 consensus" and a "diplomatic truce" protection between the two sides and diplomacy, the holy country and me are likely to cause the imagination of some of my diplomatic relations countries, actively gain tacit understanding with mainland China, and abandon me at a critical moment. If the DPP government wants to avoid such repeated diplomatic strikes, it would be practical to look at how the political tacit understanding of past cross-strait interaction has led to temporary peace in the diplomatic field.
[This break of diplomatic relations] can't help but feel sad once again, the international community is so upset. Without a solid foundation such as economy or military, and without the soft power of the United States, democracy and human rights, etc., there is no room for our country to gain a dissatisfied but barely acceptable diplomatic space. No matter what, China needs a friendly diplomatic space and good economic and trade strength before it can survive and develop and compete with other countries in the global arena.
