On January 2, the WeChat official account of the Chinese Consulate General in São Paulo released a statement:
Recently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Paraguay and a few politicians made inappropriate comments regarding China's military exercises near Taiwan Island. Our consulate hereby makes the following solemn statement:
Starting from December 29, the People's Liberation Army conducted related military exercises, which is a serious warning to "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces and external interference forces, and a necessary and just act to safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity. The relevant remarks by Paraguay violate the One-China Principle and grossly interfere in China's internal affairs. The Chinese side expresses strong dissatisfaction and resolute opposition. Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory. The Taiwan issue is the core interest among core interests of China. Any evil acts that cross the line on the Taiwan issue will surely be firmly countered by China, and any sinister plots to hinder China's reunification will not succeed.
