CPPCC calls on nation to check secession moves
14/3/2006 10:24
China's top advisory body concluded its annual session yesterday morning
after adopting a resolution which calls on the nation to oppose and check
"Taiwan independence" secessionist activities.
The Fourth Session of the 10th
National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference,
attended by more than 2,000 advisers from across the country, opened on March
3.
"We shall unite all descendants of the Chinese nation who love the
motherland to resolutely oppose and check 'Taiwan independence' secessionist
forces and activities, contribute to the development of cross-strait relations
and the reunification of our motherland," the resolution said.
Taiwan
authorities have accelerated steps for "Taiwan independence" this year in overt
defiance to the strong opposition of Chinese compatriots on both sides of the
Taiwan Strait, the resolution said.
It is a dangerous step that undermines
cross-strait relations for the leader of Taiwan to dissolve the "National
Unification Council" and end its guidelines on unifying with the mainland, said
the resolution.
"Our determination to safeguard our country's sovereignty and
territorial integrity is unshakable," the resolution said.
In the political
resolution, the annual session also hailed the "socialist concept" raised by
President Hu Jintao.
The resolution said it is imperative to promote the
concept and make it part of social norms.
Socialist concept
The concept
stresses many values: patriotism, hard work and plain living, belief in science,
consciousness of serving the people, solidarity, honesty and credibility, as
well as observing the law.
According to the resolution, it is a perfect
combination of traditional Chinese values and modern virtue.
Hu and other
leaders such as Wu Bangguo, Wen Jiabao, Zeng Qinghong, Wu Guanzheng, Li
Changchun and Luo Gan were present at the closing meeting presided over by Jia
Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National Committee.
Jia urged CPPCC committees
and members at all levels to shoulder their sacred historical mission. "We shall
take it as our major task to help promote the development of our country," Jia
said.
He urged CPPCC members to help the Party and central government
maintain social stability and contribute to the creation of a harmonious society
by keeping close ties with the masses.
The CPPCC is a patriotic united front
organization of the people, serving as a key mechanism for multi-party
cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist
Party of China. It is a major manifestation of socialism.
The main functions
of the CPPCC are to conduct political consultation, exercise supervision and
participate in the discussion and handling of state affairs. Political
consultation covers major principles and policies proposed by central and local
governments and matters of major importance concerning political, economic,
cultural and social affairs.
This year's CPPCC National Committee session
received 5,030 proposals, of which 2,200 are related to economic
growth.
