He stated that maintaining the status quo of freedom and democracy is the mainstream of public opinion in Taiwan society. Therefore, if President Chen and the DPP government aim to use a referendum to change the status quo, this would go against mainstream opinion. Not only would this not resolve any problems, it could create serious misunderstandings, so, said Soong, President Chen should come forward to clarify his statement.
他表示，維持自由民主的現狀是台灣社會主流民意，陳總統和民進黨政府如企圖以公民投票改變現狀，就是違背主流民意，不僅不能解決問題，更將造成誤會，陳總統應出面澄清。
