China Sanctions Paraguay and Belize Ministers in First Move Against Taiwan Allies

Geopolitics9 days ago

Beijing has frozen the assets of Paraguay’s communications minister and Belize’s foreign minister while barring their entry to Hong Kong and Macau. These restrictions, which took effect Oct 12, also prohibit Chinese organizations and individuals from cooperating with the two officials.

This is the first time Beijing has used such measures against officials from states that maintain formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan. Both nations are among a small number of countries that still recognize the self-ruled island instead of China, leading Beijing to label the ministers “anti-China.”
