In his article “Running for president, for what?” (Liberty Times, March 5, section A6), Lee Min-yung (李敏勇) said: “If we cannot break away from the dilemma posed by the “Republic of China,” then running for president amounts to little more than playing power games to accumulate personal fame or wealth... Future candidates for the presidency need to tell the people how they plan to lead Taiwan in the building of a new community with the real structure of a nation.”
I believe that the most important mission for any future president is to ensure Taiwanese establish a new and independent state based on freedom, democracy, justice and liberty.
