China's Criminal Network Exploits Paraguay to Undermine Taiwan's Allies

China's Strategy to Isolate Taiwan

• 🎯 China aims to isolate Taiwan by pressuring its remaining diplomatic allies to switch recognition.
• 🗺️ Currently, only 12 countries maintain official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, a number China seeks to reduce.

Paraguay: A Case Study in CCP Influence

• 🇵🇾 Despite public statements of support for Taiwan, Paraguay is vulnerable to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence due to widespread corruption.
• 🕵️ An undercover investigation revealed a massive conspiracy involving Chinese businessman Sher Da and his criminal network, including former Chinese military and Ministry of State Security operative Lynn Than.
• 💰 Sher Da allegedly bribed Paraguayan politicians, including presidential candidates and the mayor of Ciudad del Este, to cultivate influence and secure favorable deals.

Criminal Enterprises and Political Leverage

• ⛓️ Sher Da and Lynn Than are involved in illegal operations such as a Bitcoin mining scheme and are seeking licenses for a casino.
• 🤝 Sher Da claims to have cultivated relationships with Chinese officials since 2017 and works with CCP-affiliated organizations, positioning himself as the CCP's liaison in Paraguay.
• 🏗️ Documents signed by Hberto Dominguez Stner, grandson of a former dictator, allegedly allowed Sher Da to build facilities and secure military protection, though Stner denies involvement.

The CCP's 'Go-To Guy'

• 🏦 Sher Da's organization, the Paraguay China Chamber of International Development and Mutual Assistance, serves as a crucial link for the CCP due to the lack of formal diplomatic ties.
• 💉 The Paraguayan government reportedly approached Sher Da in 2021 to act as a middleman for China's COVID vaccines, which were never delivered.
• ⏳ Sher Da and Lynn Than believe conditions are not yet right for Paraguay to switch ties from Taiwan to China, suggesting a future shift is planned.

Global Implications and Call to Action
