BEIJING, March 26 (Xinhua) -- The mainland side will not be indifferent if the current situation in Taiwan worsens and gets out of control, a spokesman for the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council said Friday.
" Taiwan compatriots are as close to us as flesh and blood," said the spokesman. "We will not sit back and look on unconcerned should the post-election situation in Taiwan get out of control, leading to social turmoil, endangering the lives and property of Taiwan compatriots and affecting stability across the Taiwan straits."
"We have noticed that the electoral institution of Taiwan region has announced the (March 20) election results in disregard of strong opposition from one competing side," the spokesman said.
"We have also noticed that the opposition side refused to accept the results and that they are continuing their protests."
"We are closely following the developments in Taiwan," the spokesman said
