"Taiwan's economic progress over the past thirty or more years has raised living and educational standards and increased the desire of the populace to participate in politics. This, together with other changing objective conditions, has made 'lifting martial law' and 'opening up the formation of new political parties' a natural decision," says government spokesman Chang King-yuh.
「台灣地區經過三十多年的建設，人民生活水準提高、教育提昇、參與民主政治的意願隨之增強，加上其他客觀條件的變遷，自然有『解嚴』及『開放組黨』的決定」，政府發言人張京育博士說。
