"Do you think China would allow Taiwanese people to pursue democracy and freedom?" Chen asked.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) presidential candidate Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) yesterday also condemned Beijing's violent suppression of Tibetan protesters.

"We support Tibetan autonomy and respect Tibetan religious beliefs and customs," Ma said, adding that he would maintain the cross-strait "status quo" if elected.
