China Sanctions Paraguay, Belize Ministers Over Taiwan Ties
China imposed sanctions on Paraguay's Communications Minister Gustavo Villate and Belize's Foreign Minister Francis Fonseca for maintaining diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Measures include asset freezes in China, visa bans, and prohibiting Chinese organizations from doing business with them. China cited these actions as damaging its core interests and aimed to safeguard national security and oppose separatism. The sanctions took effect shortly after Taiwan's national day.
