A mainland official reiterated on Wednesday that China strongly
opposes any efforts to split Taiwan from China in any form and by
whatever means. He also said the upcoming Party congress will
discuss and put forward the guidelines, general requirements and
main tasks for dealing with Taiwan Affairs.
Li Weiyi, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State
Council, condemned the claim by the President of Honduras that
"Taiwan is an independent sovereign state."
"The remark was a violation against the one-China principle
upheld by the international community and the resolution 2758 of
the UN General Assembly," said Li.
He condemned the so-called "Normal Country Resolution" being
drafted by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which refers to
establishing a "Taiwan country", enacting a new "constitution", and
"de-sinicizing".
"We warn the Taiwan authorities not to play with fire, or they
will get burnt," Li said.
He also expressed appreciation of US opposition to Taiwan's
referendum scheme.
Li said the upcoming 17th National Congress of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) will discuss and put forward the guidelines,
general requirements and main tasks for dealing with Taiwan affairs
in consideration of recent cross-Straits situation and developing
trend.
