The 1991 constitutional amendments have designated cross-strait relations
as a state-to-state relationship or at least a special state-to-state relationship,
rather than an internal relationship between a legitimate government and a
renegade group, or between a central government and a local government.
Thus, the Beijing authorities' characterization of Taiwan as a "renegade
province" is historically and legally untrue. --- quoted from Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui's responses to questions
submitted by Deutsche Welle (Voice of Germany) on July 9, 1999

(台灣)在一九九一年的修憲,已經將兩岸
的關係界定(指定)成為國與國的關係,或
者至少是特殊的國與國的關係,而不是一種
介於合法政府與叛離團體,或者介於中央政
府與地方政府之間的內部(內政)關係。所
以,北京政權將台灣指涉描述成叛亂的一省
的說法,是歷史上的與法律上的 不正確。
