Taiwan is an independent, sovereign country.

Because we can't communicate, there's a lot of misunderstanding.

If we really love and cherish Taiwan, we should hold our hands in unity to protect our country and our democratic values with the most humble and tolerant hearts.

Even if one tree falls down it wouldn't affect the entire forest.

We will make every effort to unify all ethnic groups, to strengthen belief in Taiwan and to persist in reform.

Secondly I would like to make continuous efforts of stabilising cross Strait relations, eventually reaching peace across the Taiwan strait and stability and security in the Asia Pacific region.

Also in the new constitution, we want to lower the voting age from 20 years to 18 years and also gradually implement a voluntary military service in replacement of the current compulsory military service.
