(5) 李文 and 威克, 马英九：北京没支持我参加总统大选. BBC Chinese, Nov 25, 2011.

Two consecutive paragraphs:

"对于ECFA取得的成果，马英九则说，ECFA 为台湾的石化、成衣等传统产业带来了利益。马 英九还列举了台湾的石斑鱼、秋刀鱼以及火龙果等农渔产品销往中国大陆的数量增加。

"但他也指出，虽然两岸经贸的数量增加，但是台湾对中国大陆的出口占整体比例仍然维持在40%左右，原因是 台湾对欧洲和美国的贸易数量也有所增加，因此并不是如有人批评的是国民党把台湾对外贸易完全放在中国大陆一个篮子里。

Quote:

"宋楚瑜还明确表示，他支持两岸最终实现统一。他说，这是因为他遵守'中华民国宪法，' 而统一是宪法明文定立的原则。他还批评马英九 '不统、不独、不武' 或蔡英文走向分裂都是违宪的行为。

"相对于定义美国为朋友关系，宋楚瑜则称大陆为'一家亲，' 他说两岸已经超越了朋友的关系，而是一家人。
