Incorrect and untrue. That is an untrue propaganda and lie of Democratic Progressive Party DPP, in attempt to mitigate the great contribution of 国民党 in establishment of democracy in Taiwan.
The plain truth is that, 李登辉 did not encounter much resistance in the final kick to a full democracy, which is only means the direct election of the President.
Previously, 蒋经国 had well paved the road to a full democracy. 李登辉 only paid a final push under the consensus of vast majority within 国民党.
The fundamental reason for the successful establishment of democracy is the nature of 国民党, whose core mission is to establish democracy.
On the contrary, the core mission of Chinese Communist Party is to establish proletarian dictatorship. In nature, CCP precludes democracy. The current Chinese constitution and laws all align with this fundamental principle.
This disparity in party nature determines that China will NEVER embark on the same route as Taiwan in the establishment of democracy.
In fact, I cannot see any incentive, necessity and possibility for China to embrace and pursue democracy in the foreseeable future. She already possesses the prosperity and prestige of a modern and mighty county in the jungle of human world.
回复 '诚信' 的评论 : That is a thoughtful comment. It encourages critical thinking. However, it is important to remain positive and optimistic, as our next generation will witness the democratic process even if we are unable to do so.

"当一个社会的人们不再仅满足于“富起来”,而是开始追求“活得有尊严”"
The reality is, wealth spawns dignity naturally in any society, no matter democratic or autocratic.
Therefore, this can not be a catalyst for social transformation or revolution.

I wish so, but not so optimistic.
As long as China maintains status quo, I can not see any urgency or incentive for her to embrace , not to mention pursue, democracy.
