so the sentence means.....
John's relatively indirect statement is a step forward,when the statement is compared to his stronger language in the past.
i want to make sure it's "john" or " the statement" is compared to....
thanks

does it need a "comma" between "forward" and "compared" ?
is it correct if i rewrite the sentence to "John's relatively indirect statement,which is compared to his stronger language in the past,is a step forward.
thanks | I would place a comma between "forward" and "compared".
Your revision is not correct. It would work, if you replace "which is" with "when".
