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

In the 1999 resolution regarding Taiwan's future passed by the Democratic Progressive Party, it is stated very clearly that any change to the status quo of Taiwan must be decided by the people of Taiwan through referenda.

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

I believe in the greatness of our democracy.

Over the next four years, I will continue to listen to different views and accept different suggestions.

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

Even if I were knocked down by one gunshot it wouldn't affect our democracy and I wasn't knocked down and I have great confidence in our democracy and in Taiwan and in the people of Taiwan.
