Former DPP legislator Lin Cho-shui (林濁水), who drafted both the clause and the 1999 resolution, said that he didn't oppose suspension of the 1999 resolution, but he did disapprove of a new resolution that would state that "Taiwan wants independence."
"If we put the first want [of Chen's four wants] into a new resolution, it would mean that Taiwan is not yet independent and has no sovereignty," Lin said.
Lin said that the party's task was to "maintain its existing independent sovereignty" instead of going back to the position of "pursuing independence."
