BEIJING, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) -- A Chinese mainland spokesperson warned on Wednesday that the crazier the "Taiwan independence" moves, the tighter the anti-secession noose.

Zhu Fenglian, spokesperson for the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office, made the remarks in response to a media inquiry about the two individuals newly added to its list of die-hard "Taiwan independence" secessionists.

"Taiwan is China's Taiwan," Zhu reiterated, noting that those seeking "Taiwan independence" and undermining cross-Strait relations will be punished by all necessary measures and held accountable for life in accordance with the law. ■
