Though Chen didn't use the premeditated word "abolish" but the word "cease
(end)," it is just a play of words, he said.
Chen Shui-bian has obstinately promoted radical "Taiwan independence" line
and stirred up all-round confrontation and conflict within Taiwan and across the
Taiwan Strait. It will only bring disaster to Taiwan society, he said.
The leader called on compatriots on both sides of the strait to rally and
oppose the "Taiwan independence" forces and work for development and prosperity
across the Strait
Hu Jintao condemns Chen's secession
move
On Tuesday, President Hu Jintao called Chen's decision "a dangerous step
forward towards Taiwan independence."
He warned that "anyone who moves against the trend of history is doomed to
failure."
"It's a grave provocation to the one-China policy universally adhered to by
the international community and cross-Straits peace and stability," Hu was
quoted as saying during a meeting with visiting Swiss Defence Minister Samuel
Schmid.
The president said Beijing has the unswerving will and determination to
oppose Taiwan secessionist forces and their activities.
"We will continue to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification, but
we will never tolerate the secession of Taiwan from the motherland," Hu
said.
