BEIJING -- China's top advisor Jia Qinglin has warned of the risks and
dangers of the Taiwan leader Chen Shui-bian's attempt to push "de jure
independence" through so-called "constitutional reform".
The root of tensions between the mainland and Taiwan still existed as did the
danger of "Taiwan Independence", said Jia, chairman of the National Committee of
the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), at a meeting
with deputies of Taiwan trade unions.
Jia reiterated that peaceful development should be the theme of cross-Straits
relations and a common goal for both mainland and Taiwan compatriots.
Jia, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the
Communist Party of China Central Committee, said the cross-Straits trade union
symposium has brought labor representatives to Beijing to discuss peaceful
development.
The symposium served the fundamental interests of workers and the people of
the mainland and Taiwan, Jia said.
Jia warned the Chinese government would never allow anyone to split Taiwan
from China by any means.
The symposium marked a new era for cross-Straits exchanges and cooperation in
trade unions to protect the right of workers from both sides of the Strait to
the peaceful development of relations, Jia said.
