The independence movement over the past five decades has been based on emotion rather than on reason, Su said.
To build an independent nation, Su said the political standards of the Taiwanese must change and reason should be allied with the general public's emotion.
Two paths must be adopted, he said.
First, overturn the political system, remove old colonial thinking that says "Taiwan is part of China," and practice democratic politics.
Second, demolish the old colonial systems and institutions one by one, promote "Taiwanese nationalism" and steadily approach the ideal of nation-building.
With Chen's "four noes" still in place, Su said he can not see any real prospect of realizing the goal of building an independent nation in the near future.
However, he believes the dream will eventually come true if the ambition and courage of the Taiwanese are sufficient and the strategy put in place is effective and well-planned.
