We should let the mainland understand that Taiwan's desire for international recognition comes out of the yearning of Taiwan people for a dignified existence. If the mainland responded positively, this could, on the one hand, persuade people in Taiwan to have more faith in the mainland, and could dissipate support for Taiwan independence.
我們應讓大陸瞭解，台灣開展外交空間的努力，是來自於台灣人民渴望有尊嚴的存在，大陸如能適度善意回應，一來可爭取台灣人民對大陸的向心力，二來也可化解支持台獨的離心力。
