[Global Times-Global Network Reporter Bai Yunyi] At the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 20th, some media asked that it was reported that Mesa, the first deputy speaker of Paraguay's House of Representatives, once again publicly called for a "serious and extensive discussion" on the possible establishment of diplomatic and economic relations between Paraguay and China, emphasizing that this issue is related to the long-term interests of the country. What is China's comment on this?

In this regard, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said that the one-China principle is the general consensus of the international community and the basic norm of international relations. Maintaining so-called diplomatic relations with the Taiwan Province authorities is a dead end with no way out, which can't shake the firm pattern of the international community's adherence to the one-China principle, let alone change the general trend of the times that China will eventually reunify and will surely reunify.

He said that adhering to the one China principle is an international righteousness, the will of the people, and the general trend. We advise the governments of very few countries, including Paraguay, to recognize the situation clearly, listen carefully to the voices of people of insight, not to turn a blind eye to the will of the people, and make correct political decisions as soon as possible based on the fundamental and long-term interests of their people.
