Paraguay’s recognition of Taiwan remains the central obstacle to diplomatic relations with China.
People's Republic of China hacia Paraguay
-25The Chinese government has not established diplomatic relations with Paraguay and has urged Paraguay to switch recognition from Taiwan to the People’s Republic of China. Chinese pressure over this issue, including a diplomat’s 2024 public appeal to Paraguayan lawmakers, has contributed to friction.
Paraguay hacia People's Republic of China
-15The Paraguayan government maintains diplomatic recognition of Taiwan rather than the People’s Republic of China. In 2024, Paraguay ordered a Chinese diplomat to leave after he publicly pressed lawmakers on the Taiwan issue.
Relación general
-20The relationship is shaped chiefly by Paraguay’s diplomatic recognition of Taiwan and China’s insistence that countries establish relations with Beijing instead. The resulting lack of formal diplomatic relations and the 2024 dispute involving a Chinese diplomat point to a persistently strained structure, while the scope of other direct bilateral engagement is uncertain.

China and Paraguay do not maintain diplomatic relations, principally because Paraguay recognizes Taiwan. China has urged Paraguay to change that policy, while Paraguay has maintained its recognition of Taiwan.

These actions reflect a sustained bilateral divide, though the scope of other direct government interactions is unclear.
