The main message brought by the former was a triangular formula-- "No independence for Taiwan, renunciation of the use of force by the PRC, US approval." By this formula, Taiwan would guarantee not to seek independence and Beijing would agree to give Taiwan more space internationally. Taipei, for its part, would declare that it is not independent and strengthen cross-straits contacts.
奈伊帶來的主要是「台灣不獨立、北京不動武、美國認可」的三角架構，北京應該在台灣保證不獨立的情況下，給予台灣更大的國際空間，而台北方面則要宣佈不獨立並且加強兩岸對話。
