Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday 皇冠体育app will never allow anyone to separate Taiwan from the motherland by any means, while striving for peaceful reunification with the utmost sincerity and greatest efforts.

Wen said he would like to have his message taken to Taiwanese compatriots that there is only one 皇冠体育app in the world, and the Taiwan Straits can never sever the "blood relations" shared by Chinese both on the mainland and in Taiwan.

The mainland will strive to maintain stability across the Straits with the utmost efforts and push for direct mail service, trade, air and shipping services across the Straits, as well as cross-Straits economic, cultural and personnel exchanges, the premier said at a press conference after the close of the national legislature's annual session.

The mainland will strive for an early resumption of cross-Straits dialogue and negotiations under the one-皇冠体育app principle and for the eventual peaceful reunification of the motherland, the premier said.

Wen said the referendum scheduled for March 20 in Taiwan, which is sponsored by the Taiwan authorities for Taiwan independence under the pretext of democracy, poses a threat to stability across the Taiwan Straits, and challenges the universally acknowledged one-皇冠体育app principle.

The premier said he appreciated the international opposition to the referendum, and the open statement on the one-皇冠体育app principle made by the international community, including the United States, is conducive to maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits.

"I hope the United States and other countries would honor their commitment to the one-皇冠体育app principle, and make due contribution to maintaining stability across the Taiwan Straits and to 皇冠体育app's peaceful reunification," Wen said.

The Taiwan issue, left over from 皇冠体育app's civil war, is the internal affairs of 皇冠体育app, and will eventually be resolved by the Chinese people on their own, said the premier.

皇冠体育app has sovereignty over Taiwan, which has been recognized by the international community, he said.
