BEIJING – China on Tuesday firmly opposed and condemned a recent tout visit to Taiwan region by Paraguayan President Santiago Pena, urging the country's government to change course at an early date and make the right political decision to recognize the one-China principle.

Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, made the remarks at a daily press briefing in response to a related query. 

According to reports, Pena met with Lai Ching-te, leader of the Taiwan region, and signed several so-called "cooperation documents" during the visit.
