The Revolutionary Committee
of the Chinese Kuomintang held a symposium here Tuesday to voice its support for
the newly enacted Anti-Secession Law, which is designed to promote China's
peaceful national reunification.
The National People's Congress adopted the law Monday by a vote of 2,896 to
zero, setting a framework to prevent Taiwan's secession from China.
He Luli, president of the committee, said the highly popular law is of
"significant importance for China's current situation and future in the aspects
of using legal weapons to safeguard sovereignty and territorial integrity and
demonstrate the common will of the entire Chinese people.
"The law conforms to the common aspiration and strong will of the people
and has fully displayed the government's stress on the Taiwan issue and resolve
to fight against secessionist activities," she said.
According to He, it has become a common understanding of the 1.3 billion
Chinese people, including 23 million Taiwanese, that there will be no stability
across the Taiwan Strait if the "Taiwan independence" forces exist, and
separation will desperately end the peace.
"The adoption of law is extremely necessary and timely," she said.
The committee members said the law has set rules for cultural exchanges
between the two sides and will serve to promote direct links across the Taiwan
Strait and "protect the interests and rights of the Taiwan compatriots."
