 CPPCC calls for fight against 'Taiwan independence'  by Xinhua  Updated: 2005-12-31 07:09  
China's top advisory body concluded its annual session in Beijing Monday 
morning after adopting a political resolution which calls on the nation to 
firmly oppose and check "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces and 
activities. 
  The Fourth Session of the Tenth National Committee of the 
Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), attended by more 
than 2,000 advisors from across the country, opened on March 3.

shall unite all descendants of the Chinese nation who love the motherland to 
resolutely oppose and check 'Taiwan independence ' secessionist forces and 
activities, and contribute to the development of cross-Straits relations and the 
reunification of our motherland," the resolution said. 
  Taiwan 
authorities have accelerated the steps of "Taiwan independence" this year, in 
overt defiance to the strong opposition of compatriots on both sides of the 
Taiwan Straits, the resolution said. 
  It is a dangerous step that 
undermines the cross-Straits relations for Taiwan leader to cease the function 
of the "National Unification Council" and cease the application of the council's 
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 conception on honor and disgrace" 
raised by President Hu Jintao, also general secretary of the Communist Party of 
China Central Committee, at a panel discussion with the country's political 
advisors during the session. 
  The resolution said it is imperative to 
promote the conception and make it part of social norms. 
  The conception, 
which stresses the value of patriotism, hard work and plain living, belief in 
science, consciousness of serving the people, solidarity, honesty and 
credibility, and observation of the law, is a perfect combination of the 
traditional Chinese value and modern virtue, the resolution said. 
  President Hu Jintao and other Chinese leaders were present at the 
closing meeting presided over by Jia Qinglin, chairman of the CPPCC National 
Committee. 
  Speaking at the meeting, Jia urged CPPCC committees and 
members at all levels to shoulder their sacred historical mission. 
  "We 
shall take it our major task to help promote the development of our country," 
Jia said. 
  He urged CPPCC members to help the Party and government 
maintain social stability and contribute to the building of a harmonious society 
by keeping close ties with the masses, to be concerned with their interests, and 
reflect their opinions. 
  The CPPCC is a patriotic united front 
organization of the Chinese people, serving as a key mechanism for multi-party 
cooperation and political consultation under the leadership of the Communist 
Party of China (CPC), and a major manifestation of socialist 
democracy.
