A Chinese mainland official on Monday called for solidarity across the Taiwan Straits to firmly restrain separatist activities advocating "Taiwan independence," stressing that it is the only way to maintain peace and stability across the Strait and safeguard the interests of Taiwan compatriots.
Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, made the remarks in response to an inquiry over recent attacks on the Chinese mainland by Su Tseng-chang, chief of Taiwan's executive body.
Following the release of an evaluation report on China's military power by the United States, Su "viciously attacked" the mainland, attempted to stir up confrontation across the Strait, and deliberately confused "Taiwan independence" and Taiwan, Zhu said in a written statement.
Stressing that people across the Strait belong to one family, she said, "Chinese don't fight Chinese. We are willing to strive for peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and greatest efforts." [FULL STORY]
