"We will remind our (Republic of China) nationals that you may face potential risk if you travel to Hong Kong (if the extradition law of Hong Kong with Mainland China is passed). We (Mainland Affairs Council) may even issue a travel alert for Hong Kong."

"It's very possible that after this (extradition) law (of Hong Kong with Mainland China is passed), everyone will live in fear."

"Without the removal of threats to the personal safety of (Republic of China) nationals going to or living in Hong Kong caused by being extradited to Mainland China, we will not agree to the case-by-case (crime suspect) transfer proposed by the Hong Kong authorities."

"Although (Kaohsiung Mayor) Han (Kuo-yu) and I belong to different political camps, we both possess ROC national identification cards. Like I once said, the distance between the pan-blue (Kuomintang) and pan-green camps (Democratic Progressive Party), however wide it is, is narrower than that between the pan-blue camp and the red camp (Communist Party of China)."

"As Beijing has never renounced the use of force against Taiwan, the participation of some retired Taiwanese generals in mainland China's national celebrations has triggered resentment among the public."

"Taipei has a responsibility to share its 60-year experience of democratization and economic development with Beijing. We also have a responsibility to make freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law the core values for promoting cross-strait ties."
