'Taiwan independence' will never succeed, premier stresses

Activities seeking "Taiwan independence" have no chance of succeeding, Premier Li Keqiang said on Thursday.

"The blood relations between people on both sides of the Straits cannot be cut off," he said on the sidelines of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference.

Li made the remarks during his meeting with Vincent Siew, honorary chairman of the Cross-Straits Common Market Foundation.
