Wu said the party would go ahead with its plans to stage a rally in Taichung on Saturday to attract support for the party's referendum proposal.
The KMT's proposal aims to counter one submitted by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which suggests the nation apply for UN membership under the name "Taiwan."
Meanwhile, dozens of protesters yesterday burned and trampled the Stars and Stripes outside an American Institute in Taiwan office, reports said, after senior White House official Dennis Wilder last week said Taiwan was not a state.
A crowd chanting slogans set fire to the US flag outside the building in Kaohsiung and unfurled protest banners, including one that read, "Oppose US bullying of Taiwan," television pictures showed.
Police then moved in to douse the flames but there were no reports of arrests or injuries from the incident.
