Tsai pointed out that not only has mainland China made no concrete and clear response to the many friendly gestures made by Taiwan in recent years, it has continued in the diplomatic arena to attempt to isolate and suppress Taiwan. In addition, militarily it has never renounced using armed force against Taiwan and has significantly strengthened its military deployments facing Taiwan.
她指出，近年來中共對於我方種種善意，不但沒有具體而明顯的回應，還持續在外交上打壓我們，在軍事上強調不放棄武力犯台，並大幅強化對台軍事佈署。
