2019年5月，林榮基流亡臺灣後，在臺北西門町參加臺獨旗隊座談會時表示中國文化一直沉溺於大一統夢想，然而一個地方要有獨立，才能顯現自由。香港已沒有自由及民主，如果臺灣被中國大陸統一，臺灣人下場會同佢一樣。因此他支持臺灣獨立、香港獨立、新疆獨立、西藏獨立及內蒙古獨立。
In May 2019, after Lin Rongji went into exile in Taiwan, he said at a forum of the Taiwan independence flag team in Ximending, Taipei, that Chinese culture has always been indulged in the dream of great unification, but a place must be independent in order to show freedom. There is no freedom and democracy in Hong Kong, and if Taiwan is reunified by Chinese mainland, Taiwan will end up like him. Therefore, he supported the independence of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia.
