BEIJING, March 5 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese mainland will unite with Taiwan compatriots in firm opposition to all forms of secessionist activities, such as calls for "Taiwan independence" through legislation, said Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Monday.

"We will remain committed to the basic principle of peaceful reunification and 'one country, two systems' and vigorously expand exchanges and cooperation between the two sides," said Wen while delivering a cabinet work report to the just-opened annual parliamentary session.
