He stated that the Taiwanese example proves that democracy can be established in Chinese societies. "In the past, Taiwan's leaders had claimed that they wanted to establish a democratic system, but that the time was not right. But democratization should not be put off to the future; it should be implemented now.
他說，台灣經驗說明民主在華人社會的成功，「過去台灣的統治者宣稱要實行民主制度，卻以現在不宜為藉口，事實上民主的施行不該被延後到未來，而是要馬上實行。
