Lee slams China law at 228 event - `barbaric'

[dArKeR]

Pressing a button that lit up a beacon built on Cape Fukui (???) near Tamsui Harbor, former president Lee Teng-hui (???) launched the 228 memorial activities held at Taipei's 228 Memorial Peace Park yesterday evening. During the event he reiterated his strong opposition to China's planned anti-secession law, criticizing it as "barbarian and invasive" behavior.

" is barbarian and invasive behavior," Lee said. "We have to denounce China's ambition and declare to the whole world that we firmly oppose China's making of the anti-secession law ... We will never launch a war to invade China; likewise, we will not allow China to invade Taiwan either."

Lee made a speech before igniting the beacon of Cape Fukui by pressing a button on a beacon model, joined by other pro-independence leaders. Lee stressed in his speech that pro-independence groups will never tire in their resolve to resist China's annexation of Taiwan, correct the nation's official name and make a new constitution for the nation.
