In addition to foreign acquisition of defense systems and platforms, I am committed to more investments in indigenous defense programs, including research and development, to meet our long-term defense need. These investments will eventually produce multiplied benefits in Taiwan’s economy. It is investment in defense and economy at the same time, for the long haul[21].

是以，在被選總統以後，我將在中華民國現行憲政體制下，依循遍及民意，延續推動兩岸關係的和平穩定成長。

作為總統候選人，面臨日趨升高的國表裏挑戰，從自由民主受到侵蝕，到保持台灣經濟自立的不肯定性一日千裏，都必需要作好應對的準備。

Under my watch, Taiwan will meaningfully participate and contribute, provided that it is not discriminated against, in international projects such as humanitarian assistance and disaster relief[22], medical assistance, and joint efforts in economic aide with backup support from our active NGO’s[23]. Taiwan has a modern rescue training center in central Taiwan; I would like to expand its operation so that it becomes an international training center. I will also seek to work closely with the U.S. on counter-terrorism, modeling on the Container Security Initiative and Mega Port Initiative and share this experience with any neighboring country.

Mr. Burghardt, Mr. Campbell, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen and members of the media,

Therefore, providing a new economic way forward will be the foremost priority of the coming DPP Administration. I am ready to present the New Model for Economic Development with core elements of innovation, employment, that is, job creation, and equitable distribution.

在我的督導之下，只要不遭到輕視，台灣將在國際事務上作出成心義的介入和進獻，包孕人性支援、災難救濟、醫療協助，以及在經濟支援上的配合努力；台灣活躍的非當局組織可以作為後盾氣力。台灣中部有一個相當現代化的災害防救練習中間，我將鞭策該中間擴大運作，作為國際的練習中間。我也會以貨櫃安全倡議及大港倡議為模式，鞭策和美國的反恐合作，和區域中的所有國家分享經驗。

As a presidential candidate, I have to be ready to deal with rising domestic and external challenges ranging from the gradual erosion of freedom and democracy to an increasing uncertainty over Taiwan’s ability to maintain its economic autonomy.

On international trade, there is an urgent need for Taiwan to participate in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP), at least to be included in the second round of negotiations. For this purpose, I have set up a special task force to discuss the important aspects of trade liberalization and the TPP. Our discussions include the need for structural adjustments and reform, the extent to which Taiwan should adhere to[15] international standards, streamlining[16] legal infrastructure and bureaucratic practices, and making the necessary investments in specific sectors[17].  We want to ensure that Taiwan is ready to effectively deal with the challenges of globalization.

經濟趨緩對年青世代的衝擊特別嚴重，其所面臨的經濟情況遠較他們的怙恃嚴重甚多。另外，當局各大退休基金潛藏鉅額負債並危及其永續運作。在此等情況下，可以想像台灣年青世代身上的壓力有多麼的繁重。

[27]  order (U) 狀態、秩序

Taiwan and its people have a special political, security, economic, and cultural bond with the United States because of our shared values and shared interests. But, Taiwan should not take the relationship for granted. I will ensure that Taiwan works together with the U.S. to advance our common interests. Taiwan’s international support can be obtained by making ourselves as a reliable partner and by having a proactive diplomatic agenda for peace.

Responding to the challenge to democracy回應民主的挑戰

為讓台灣經濟更有競爭力，同時強化民主，我們必須創設可以或許捍衛國度、維持和平的國軍，我們也應該藉由對國際事務有意義的進獻，來協助塑造一個友善的區域情況。

In conclusion, I would like to say this: Taiwan stands at the juncture of history and culture. When people in many Asian countries are still suffering from authoritarianism, we in Taiwan are immensely proud of our democracy and cherish our hard-earned social and political rights and individual freedom, together with the rise of civil society and freedom of choice.

As noted by some prominent international organizations, freedom of speech, freedom of press, and human rights have been on a steady decline in the last few years. In March last year, the undemocratic nature of the ratification process over a cross-strait trade agreement unleashed[4] formidable[5] social forces trying to redirect the path of the government. Now some of the social forces are eager to participate in the political process through public deliberation[6] or even through participation in elections.

Thank you, Bonnie, for your introduction and to CSIS for welcoming me into your magnificent new building.

In summary, we are crafting a model of new Asian value in Taiwan to serve as an example and inspiration to others. With this new Asian value, we are ready to light up Taiwan, light up Asia.

謝謝列位。

For Taiwan’s economy to be more competitive and our democracy stronger we need to build a military capable of safeguarding the country and maintaining peace. We should also help shape a friendly regional environment by making meaningful contributions to international affairs. Needless to say, a critical component is a need to maintain a peaceful and stable relationship with China.

On defense, to be a reliable partner on regional security, it is my firm belief that proper investment in credible[18] deterrence[19] is the key. In light of the increasing military and security threat that Taiwan faces, developing asymmetric capabilities that involve enhanced military relations with friendly forces, well-trained military personnel in a modern force structure, and acquisition of necessary defense equipment are essential components of our deterrent strategy.
