Of course, Ma has put forth considerable effort on this score already to show that he identifies with Taiwan, but he still has to move beyond the shibboleths of both the old KMT and the DPP- "Greater China" in the former case, "Taiwan independence" in the latter-and establish a new national identity and a new way of discussing it. Exactly what sort of nation is Taiwan?
當然在這方面，馬先生做過許多努力，證明自己認同本土，但他還需要在老國民黨的「大中國」和民進黨的「台獨」兩種神話迷思外，去建構一個新的國家認同，一種新論述，也就是台灣到底是怎樣的國家？
