Mainland spokesman condemned Taiwan authority's "de-sinicizing"
moves Wednesday.
Taiwan authority's "de-sinicizing" moves, the separatists' moves
are unable to win people's support, said spokesman for the Taiwan
Affairs Office of the State Council Wednesday.
Recently, Taiwan authorities headed by Chen Shui-bian has
promoted a series of "de-sinicizing" separatists' moves, aiming to
create the social climate for the "de jure Taiwan independence"
scheme, Li said.
These moves aggravated antinomy between ethnic groups of Taiwan
and stirred tension of relations across the Taiwan Strait, he said,
stressing Chen attempts to seek his personal benefits from these
evil conducts.
The politically motivated "de-sinicizing" moves, regardless of
Taiwan people's livelihood and Taiwan's economic development, are
lambasted and opposed by other Taiwan parties and Taiwan people as
well as the international community, he said.
These separatists' moves are unable to win people's support and
there is no way out for promoting "Taiwan independence", he said,
stressing these separatists' moves are opposed by peoples on the
two sides across the Taiwan Strait.
Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian announced on Feb. 8 that the
authorities will remove the words "China" or "Chinese" from the
island's "government-run" organizations, enterprises and from
certain laws and regulations.
Last month, Taiwan authorities adopted a resolution that
requires the island's National Palace Museum to remove all the
labels that identify exhibits as being from the Chinese mainland.
The move triggered widespread criticism from both mainland and
Taiwan scholars.
