I would prefer that Paraguay demands 10 billion dollars from Taiwan annually as their "let-us-remain-as-friends-but-let-me-suck-your-wallet-dry" fee instead just so that they could drain Taiwan's coffers from buying more US weapons.
Beneficial for China as well.
They seem to be Pakistani citizens of Chinese descent.
Based on the twitter comments, dentists of Chinese descent are not that uncommon in Pakistan and India.
It is sad, considering China dont really have to do this due to her sheer market size. I assume the indirect trade Paraguay does with China(done through 3rd party states like Argentina and Brazil due to lack of official relation) is already way more than with TW's.
Later in the statement, they also used the word "separatists"

A fact most don’t seem to appreciate because it’s counter-intuitive at face value, is that junk food is significantly cheaper than fresh, healthy foods.
Junk foods are generally made from poor quality ingredients, highly processed and pumped full of salt, sugar, additives and artificial flavouring to disguise the low quality inputs; with a lot of preservatives added for long shelf life.
There is a strong correlation between obesity and low social economic status in the west because the poor cannot afford health, fresh produce and instead consume pre-processed junk foods as their primary food source.
So higher food prices will actually paradoxically lead to increasing obesity in the west.
NATO believes Nord Stream gas pipeline leaks are result of SABOTAGE, alliance will RESPOND to any deliberate attack on its critical infrastructure - NATO statement.
Statement by the North Atlantic Council on the damage to gas pipelines
- The damage to the Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 pipelines in international waters in the Baltic Sea is of deep concern. All currently available information indicates that this is the result of deliberate, reckless, and irresponsible acts of sabotage. These leaks are causing risks to shipping and substantial environmental damage. We support the investigations underway to determine the origin of the damage.
- We, as Allies, have committed to prepare for, deter and defend against the coercive use of energy and other hybrid tactics by state and non-state actors. Any deliberate attack against Allies’ critical infrastructure would be met with a united and determined response.
