Beijing - China warned on Tuesday that Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian will "pay a dear price" if he continues with current pro-independence plans.

The warning came from National People's Congress spokesperson Jiang Enzhou at a news conference to announce the agenda for the NPC, which opens on Wednesday.

Taiwan and China split amid civil war in 1949.

Beijing considers the self-governing island Chinese territory and has threatened a military attack if Taiwan tries to formalise its de facto independence.
