“Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to one family. There are no Taiwanese in Taiwan and Taiwanese are all Chinese. Which Taiwanese is not Chinese? They are Chinese just like you are.

Then we won't be able to distinguish who's Mainland and who's Taiwanese — and we will naturally become unified.”
