China Reaffirms One-China Principle in Response to Paraguay-Taiwan Developments

In response to Paraguay's President Santiago Pena's statement that the country is preparing to receive Taiwan's regional leader next month, with potential stopovers in the United States, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson addressed the situation. The spokesperson reiterated China's established stance on the "diplomatic ties" between Paraguay and Taiwan.

The spokesperson emphasized the one-China principle as a fundamental norm in international relations and a widely accepted international consensus. They asserted that adhering to this principle is the correct course of action, aligning with historical trends and global public opinion.

The spokesperson noted that people from various sectors in Latin American countries, including Paraguay, have visited China in recent years. A common sentiment among them is that Paraguay should cease its isolation, recognize the one-China principle, and adjust its relationship with China.

The spokesperson urged the current Paraguayan administration to avoid actions that contradict the prevailing global trends and to resist manipulation by "Taiwan independence" forces. They encouraged Paraguay to heed the desires of its people and make choices that serve their long-term interests. The spokesperson also expressed hope that other Latin American and Caribbean countries would recognize the broader trend and join the cooperative framework between China and the region.

Regarding the potential US stopover, the spokesperson firmly opposed any official interactions between the US and Taiwan. They stated opposition to any visit to the US by Taiwan's leaders, regardless of the reason. The US was urged to avoid supporting "Taiwan independence" separatists and to handle the Taiwan question with extreme caution, adhering to the one-China principle and the established China-US joint communiqués.

China’s call for 'cooperation' often means submission. That’s not an appealing offer.

Paraguay's friendship with Taiwan is about supporting democratic values, not just economics.

Paraguay should engage with Taiwan and stand up for its own interests instead of succumbing to pressure.

China’s historical insights matter; changing relationships can lead to positive outcomes for Latin America.

Why does China feel entitled to dictate Paraguay's diplomatic relations? It's not their business!
