He emphasized that the ROC has always been an independent nation and therefore there is no need to advocate Taiwan's independence. He further stated that the mainland's current conditions are such that the time has not yet arrived to negotiate reunification.
他再次強調，中華民國本來就是主權獨立國家，無需主張台灣獨立，而大陸今天的條件也還未到談統一的地步。
