“We have to have a very clear understanding of ourselves.”

“Taiwan isn't ruled by rule of law. Taiwan is a country of liars and fraudsters. Our politicians are full of lies. They change their position from one day to the next.”

“You have to go to other countries to realize Taipei is a place where there is diversity of thought.”

“The longer a region is in contact with modern civilization, the higher the degree to which the society in the region is civilized.”

“Singapore is better than Hong Kong; Hong Kong is better than Taiwan; Taiwan is better than the mainland. I'm speaking in terms of culture.”

“People movements have heralded a new era of Taiwan politics.”

“Women who do not marry are a national problem.”
