Even after 1950, when the US military came to the defense of Taiwan, the KMT should have recognized that its past failures were due to its inadequate respect for democracy, and that they should turn Taiwan into a real "Free China" in contrast to the mainland.
即使一九五○年後，美軍協防台灣，國民黨更應該體會過去的失敗乃緣於民主觀念的不足，而將寶島建設成有別於對岸的真正「自由中國」。
