CPPCC Subcommittees for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Compatriots and Overseas Chinese are also backing the law. The subcommittees voiced support in a statement released on Tuesday.

The Anti-Secession Law is of vital importance and has far-reaching significance in opposing secessionist forces advocating "Taiwan independence", maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait and promoting China's peaceful reunification process.

The law also shows the sincerity of the Chinese mainland for peaceful reunification and demonstrates the strong will of the entire Chinese people, including Taiwan compatriots, to safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Resolving the Taiwan issue is China's internal affair, exempt from interference from any other countries.

Along with the Taiwan compatriots, we will continue to promote communication between the two sides of the Strait, push forward mutual prosperity and development, safeguard the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and defend the basic interests of the whole nation.
