Beijing, October 30 (Xinhua) — China calls on the Paraguayan government to heed the call of its people, change course as soon as possible, and make the right decision to recognize the one-China principle and sever so-called "diplomatic ties" with Taiwanese authorities, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Thursday.
Guo Jiakun made the statement while commenting on a survey conducted in Paraguay this month, which showed that nearly 90 percent of the country's population recognizes the importance of establishing diplomatic relations with China.
"In recent years, we have repeatedly heard urgent calls from friends from various circles in Paraguay to develop relations with China," Guo Jiakun recalled at a regular briefing for journalists.
He stated that this survey once again demonstrated the ardent desire of the Paraguayan people to establish diplomatic relations between China and Paraguay.
"China's reunification is an unstoppable historical trend," Guo Jiakun emphasized.
He noted that maintaining so-called “diplomatic ties” with the Taiwanese authorities not only does not meet the fundamental and long-term interests of the state and people of Paraguay, but also runs counter to the broad consensus of the international community on its commitment to the one-China principle.
“We call on the Paraguayan government to heed the call of its people, change course as soon as possible, and make the right decision to recognize the one-China principle and sever so-called ‘diplomatic ties’ with the Taiwanese authorities,” Guo Jiakun concluded. –0–
