4. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman, Taiwan Affairs Office of State Council:
"Currently, the cross-Strait relations have become more complicated and graver. The Democratic Progressive Party authorities and the forces who attempt to split Taiwan from China are the root cause behind. They buoy themselves up by leaning onto foreign forces, act as a chess piece of the Western anti-China forces to play the 'Taiwan card' and deter China's development. They have been continually stirring up cross-Strait confrontation and rivalry, made an uproar and pressed ahead with a series of activities to seek 'independence,' and severely damaged the peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. They have been making provocations and are maker of threats and troubles."

6. SOUNDBITE (Chinese) Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman, Taiwan Affairs Office of State Council:
"We are willing to strive for peaceful reunification with utmost sincerity and greatest efforts. The PLA's actions target at interference of external forces and secessionist activities aiming at 'Taiwan independence', but never at the broad masses of Taiwan compatriots. Some people feel threatened, which only reveals that they plot to collude with external forces for separation. It's a road of dead end for Taiwan's secessionist movement. The Taiwan separatists are the common enemy of compatriots across the Strait as they are detrimental to the fundamental interests of compatriots across the Strait and the Chinese nation. They could only bring catastrophe to the 23 million people in Taiwan. These separatists' act of distorting facts and complaining to the West at an attempt to hijack the Taiwan society will further bare their evil nature."

We have the determination and capability to defeat any Taiwan separatist activities, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and firmly uphold the common interests of the compatriots across the Strait."
