Chinese State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan on Friday called on
compatriots from home and abroad to stand firmly against the
secessionist activities of Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian.
Tang made the remarks when he met visiting delegates of the
Chinese American Alliance for China's Peaceful Reunification in the
United States of America.
Tang said Chen Shui-bian's conspiracy of seeking "de jure Taiwan
independence" through so-called "constitutional reform" is getting
more dangerous now.
Tang hoped overseas Chinese as well as compatriots across the
Taiwan Strait to "hold on to the theme of peaceful development of
cross-Strait relations and firmly stand against the Taiwan regime's
secessionist activities."
