In response to press queries on China's anti-secession law, the MFA Spokesman said:
"Singapore understands the reason for China wanting to enact this law at this point in time. From the briefing given by National People's Congress Standing Committee Deputy Chairman Wang Zhaoguo, it would appear that the law restates China's known position against Taiwan independence with a strong emphasis on peaceful resolution. Singapore's position on "One China" is well known."
