I have great confidence in Taiwan's democracy.

A defensive referendum is for avoiding war and to help keep the Taiwanese people free of fear.

Also in the new constitution, we want to lower the voting age from 20 years to 18 years and also gradually implement a voluntary military service in replacement of the current compulsory military service.

I have great confidence in the universal value and in basic human rights and I have great confidence that referenda will eventually take root and become part of our daily lives in Taiwan.

We also intend to deal with the issue of incorporating basic human rights into our new constitution.

Because we can't communicate, there's a lot of misunderstanding.

The results of the two referenda demonstrate the majority view of the Taiwanese people.
