Premier Li says China opposes Taiwan independence
BEIJING (Reuters) - China maintains a "one-China" policy and opposes independence for Taiwan, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said on Friday at his annual news conference. China claims self-ruled and proudly democratic Taiwan as its sacred territory, and has never renounced the use of force to bring the island under Beijing's control.
