This paper explores the existing opportunities and mechanisms for Paraguayan exports to the Chinese market despite the lack of formal diplomatic relations between the two countries. The main objective is to demonstrate, based on the practical experience of the Paraguay-China Chamber of Industry and Commerce, that direct market access to China is possible. While no formal academic methodology was applied, the study draws from real cases of Paraguayan companies that have successfully obtained the GACC license, required by the Chinese government for foreign exporters. In conclusion, the diplomatic barrier does not equate to a ban on trade. Paraguay can strategically position itself in the Asian market and offer its products and services through legal and recognized channels in China.
