We advise the Paraguayan authorities to stand on the right side of history as soon as possible, and to make the correct decision to recognize the one-China principle and sever so-called "diplomatic relations" with the DPP authorities in the Taiwan island, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said on Thursday in response to a question about a delegation of business leaders led by the president of Paraguay is currently visiting the island, with the aim of strengthening ties between the two sides. 

The one-China principle is a basic norm governing international relations and a widely recognized consensus in the international community. So far, 183 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of this principle, Lin said.
