With the present situation across the Taiwan strait, in which the Communists apply pressure on Taiwan wherever they can, no matter how hard we work to further our "economic and trade foreign policy," we cannot make the Western countries and Japan "run the risk of breaking relations with the Communists" and establishing diplomatic relations with us.
在目前兩岸情勢仍未緩解、中共處處打壓的現況下，我們的「經貿外交」再怎麼努力，也不可能使歐美各國「冒著與中共斷交的風險」，來和我們建交。
