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

The election result is not a victory that belongs to me or my party.

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

I believe that this is not only the view of the people on both sides of the Strait. It is also the common expectation of the US, Japan and the international community.

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

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.

We have had a long wait for democracy.
