Professor Chen Yu-chun of Chinese Culture University further stated that if Beijing had been able to show greater vision and magnanimity, and had not approached the Li Yuan-zu affair by trying to force President Chen to bow to its will, the outcome would have been different.
中國文化大學大陸研究所教授陳毓鈞進一步指出，北京若能以較為宏觀大度的視野，以及不以逼陳總統就範的心態來處理李元簇一事，結果就會不一樣。
