The spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office under the State
Council Sunday denounced the Oct. 25 march that called for a new
"constitution" through referendum in Kaohsiung of Taiwan.
"The march organized by the Democratic Progressive Party and
some 'Taiwan independence' organizations, Chen Shuibian's promoting
of separatism and Annette Lu's fanning of a new constitution
through referendum are all aimed at 'Taiwan independence'," said Li
Weiyi.
"This fully shows the Taiwan authorities leaders'
non-independence commitments in the past years are thoroughly
false," he said.
"These separatist activities are disasters against Taiwan and
will directly harm the fundamental interests of compatriots in
Taiwan," he said.
"Taiwan and the mainland are of one country, and China's
sovereignty and territory are inseparable," Li said.
"Any separatist activities aimed at 'Taiwan independence' are
doomed to failure, for they will never be tolerated by all Chinese
people," Li concluded.
