China's Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council Friday reiterated its stand on the "referendum legislation" in Taiwan.

"We are deeply concerned about relevant things concerning 'referendum legislation' in Taiwan and are paying close attention to the development of the issue," said a spokesman for the office.

"Our attitude toward the (Taiwan) issue is quite clear," the spokesman said. "There is only one China in the world and Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's sacred territory. China's sovereignty and territorial integrity cannot be separated."

"China opposes any person who carries out splitting activities by means of 'referendum legislation' or 'Taiwan independence'," the spokesman said, adding that any attempt to separate Taiwan from China will not be tolerated absolutely.
