One country, two systems
Li strongly supported the idea of "One country, two systems" proposed by Deng Xiaoping. He believed that the unification of China was inevitable and at one point advocated immediate surrender of Taiwan to the PRC. He thought that an immediate reunification was more beneficial for Taiwan. This, combined with his past as a political dissident and his witty writing style, had made him a popular figure among the supporters of Chinese reunification. It also made him an unpopular figure among the supporters of Taiwan independence.
