Cross-Strait blood ties cannot be denied

Blood is thicker than water. Except that which flows through the veins of Taiwan's Democratic Progressive Party it seems.

Yet whatever ulterior motives the DPP secessionists on the island harbor by trying to de-sinicize the island, it will be almost impossible for them to dilute the blood ties between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait as they hope.

It is true that there are differences between both sides in terms of political systems and other institutional operations. Yet what cannot and will never change is that both sides of the Strait belong to one country and Chinese people living on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are members of the same family, sharing ties of blood and a common destiny.
