So now we are pushing economic reform, bank reform and enterprise reform. So we can finish that reform this year, in September or October. Then our economy may be much more, you know, normalized.

American presence is, you know, the major cause of balance of power and the stability in this region.

Democracy is the absolute value that makes for human dignity, as well as the only road to sustained economic development and social justice.

Unification is not our present goal. That is a future program.

Unification is one thing, and stability in Northeast Asia is another thing.
