Oct 12 CHINA's foreign ministry said it has announced countermeasures under the PRC Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law against Paraguay's minister of communications and technology and Belize's foreign minister, Fonseca. The ministry said the steps respond to the officials' visits to Taiwan and their hosting of Taiwan independence figures, and accused them of interfering in China's internal affairs and spreading false claims of Chinese cyberattacks. The ministry described the measures as punitive and meant to deter; it did not specify the measures announced.
