Paraguay has failed to turn this charity into a development partnership. In 1990, the average Taiwanese was three times better off than the average Paraguayan; now the g________（C） is more than sevenfold. Of the 10,000 Taiwanese who migrated to Paraguay, many of them in the 1980s, only half remain. Taiwanese investment comprises little more than an ailing[2] industrial park—partly because skilled labour is short. （2）Taiwanese experts have passed on technical advice, but their lessons were ignored, says Carlos Paris, a trade official.
