The mainland has patience now. We can wait. We can maintain the status quo for a period of time.

The mainland will not agree to maintaining the status quo then. Talks will be on reunification ... We can't let Taiwan provoke us every day.

But we will be forced to war if the Legislative Yuan or a referendum approves a new constitution.

Personally I think the mainland's reaction this time has been very measured and moderate.

Mr. Wang has left us forever...but he has left behind a rich legacy and unforgettable demeanor.
