A Chinese delegate to a UNESCO meeting in Paraguay leaves after being ordered to depart within 24 hours for "interference in internal affairs," according to Paraguay's foreign ministry. Paraguay has no relations with China due to its recognition of Taiwan, a stance Beijing does not tolerate. Xu Wei, China's Foreign Minister for Latin America, met with politicians on Wednesday at the Parliament building, sparking displeasure in Taipei. Globally, only 12 countries recognize this island claimed by Beijing, including Paraguay, Haiti, and several small island nations in the Caribbean and Pacific. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
