(Xinhua)
Updated: 2005-03-11 09:53 A revised edition of the
draft Anti-Secession Law was adopted Thursday by the presidium of the current
session of China's parliament, the National People's Congress (NPC), and will
put before NPC deputies for deliberation.
The NPC Law Committee amended the draft law after careful study of the views
of deputies and the opinions formed at the 13th session of NPC Standing
Committee at the end of last year. The committee also scrutinized the draft law
article by article, according to a source with the presidium.
Yang Jingyu, chairman of the NPC Law Committee, reported the result of
deputies' deliberations on the draft Anti-Secession Law to the presidium.
"The presidium voted to present the revised version of the draft law to the
plenum of the NPC session for deliberation," saidthe source, without talking
further about the revisions.
According to him, NPC deputies put forward their views after careful
deliberations on the draft law on March 8 shortly after Vice Chairman Wang
Zhaoguo of the NPC Standing Committee made explanations on it.
The deputies also studied the March 4 speech of President Hu Jintao, who set
forth a four-point guideline on relations across the Taiwan Straits under the
new circumstances, when he attended ajoint panel discussion of China's top
advisory body members representing the Taiwan region.
According to Hu, who also heads the Central Committee of the Communist Party
of China and the Central Military Commission, China will never sway in adhering
to the one-China principle, never give up efforts to seek peaceful
reunification, never changethe principle of placing hope on the Taiwan people,
and never compromise in opposing the "Taiwan independence" secessionist
activities.
