Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing on Friday denounced Taiwan leader Chen
Shui-bian for scrapping a policy-making council on unification with the
mainland, warning the move is very risky and the scheme will not succeed.
Li made the remarks while attending the opening ceremony of the Fourth
Session of the Tenth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference (CPPCC), China's top advisory body, in the Great Hall of
the People.
Chen announced on Monday that the "National Unification Council" founded in
1990 shall "cease to function" and the "National Unification Guidelines" shall
"cease to apply."
Chinese President Hu Jintao said during a meeting with visiting Swiss Defense
Minister Samuel Schmid on Feb. 28 that "it is a grave provocation to the
one-China policy universally adhered to by the international community and
cross-Straits peace and stability."
Chen's decision is a dangerous step toward "Taiwan independence," Hu
said.
