Paraguay Expels Chinese Envoy for Urging Break with Taiwan

Paraguay has expelled Chinese envoy Xu Wei for urging the country to sever ties with Taiwan, declaring him persona non grata for interfering in domestic affairs. Xu, attending a Unesco meeting, skipped the session to address Paraguay's congress, advocating for a diplomatic shift to China, which claims Taiwan as its territory. Paraguay remains one of the few countries recognizing Taiwan, despite China's growing influence in Latin America. The incident highlights ongoing tensions over Taiwan's international recognition.
