I'm not going to defend diversity but the idea is having a Paraguayan and Chinese would be better than two Paraguayans because you get insight from two cultures vs one.

For some roles this might be important (sales) for others like accounting it's foolish.

What if the Paraguayan and Chinese cannot (hypothetically) effectively work together because of cultural differences?

That's the other side. Having all Chinese allows for easier communication, shared cultural experiences, similiar worldview.

Location is a factor.. in China everyone is Chinese. In the US you have a variety of people with different cultural backgrounds. What works in China couldn't work in the US.
