Any Separatist Activity Doomed to Failure: FM SpokesmanChinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhu Bangzao said Tuesday that any attempt to split the motherland is doomed to failure.In response to a question on the Dalai Lama's ongoing "religious trip" to Taiwan, Zhu said at a regular press conference that both Taiwan and Tibet are inseparable parts of China, and the Chinese government has never recognized the so-called exiled government of Tibet. On whatever excuse the Taiwan authorities have invited the Dalai Lama or in whatever identity or form the Delai Lama is paying the visit, the trip can in no way shield the political motives of the collusion between the Taiwan and Tibet independence forces, the spokesman stressed. China is firmly opposed to the collusion between the two forces to split the motherland, Zhu said, stressing it is the common aspiration of the Chinese people to safeguard national unity and to realize the complete reunification of the motherland. Any attempt to split the motherland will be opposed by all the Chinese people, including the Taiwan compatriots and the Tibetan people, and is doomed to failure, Zhu noted. |
