Xi vows to curb Taiwan secessionists

Beijing will "resolutely curb" secessionist activities seeking "Taiwan independence" in any form, and will never let the historic tragedy of "national separation" recur, President Xi Jinping said on Saturday.

He made the remarks when attending the panel discussion on the Government Work Report by lawmakers from the Shanghai delegation.

Shanghai, China's economic hub, is home to tens of thousands of Taiwan businesspeople and their families.
