For example, when former president Lee Teng-hui visited Singapore, he set important precedents, such as having the host country get around the sovereignty issue by calling him "President Lee from Taiwan," and the Taiwan side responding by saying "we are not satisfied with this, but we can accept it." The enthusiasm generated for this approach lasted through Lee's visit to Cornell University in the US.
過去李登輝總統訪新加坡創下的「來自台灣的李總統」模式，及「雖不滿意但可以接受」的說法，都非常膾炙人口，這股熱潮甚至還維持到他出訪美國康乃爾大學。
