I have this idea of a Taiwan Consensus, which means people in Taiwan have to get together and form a consensus of their own and that they turn around to talk to the Chinese to form a cross-strait consensus so we can build a relationship on that consensus. And in my view, that is the right order to do things.

I would have a democratic process for people to get together and talk about the way they want the government to conduct business with China.

For many Taiwanese, almost all Taiwanese, we'd like to we say we are a country, and we have a sovereignty of our own.
