"Hsieh's remarks show that he is unwilling to promise to complete the name change and introduce a new constitution within four years to fool voters into electing him for a second term," deputy director of the KMT's policy committee Chang Jung-kung (張榮恭) said in a statement.

Chang also condemned the DPP candidate for trying to fool the US by claiming that Taiwan does not need to declare independence, but then announced that he would continue the name-change campaign upon his return to Taiwan.
