"If a political party reneges and changes its policy just like that, then this means it will also cheat voters just as easily," Chen said. "I have not changed my policies since I took my oath of office in 2000 ... nothing will change and our goals will not be realized if people do not care about the election. This worries me a lot."
Speaking again on cross-strait matters, Chen said that he was not worried because he has good communication with Lien and Soong.
On the first day of his trip, Chen told reporters that he had asked Soong to "deliver some messages" to Chinese officials when he visits China. When asked what messages he gave Soong, Chen replied that it was not proper for him to make them public.
Chen said the conversation between him and Soong was also private and that he intended to keep it that way.
"Regardless of what I told him, my bottom line never changes. Taiwan's sovereignty must be recognized and respected." Chen said.
