The move is also significant in the context of the on-going international debate over Tibet's political status and the Dalai Lama's efforts to secure greater autonomy for the region. By inviting the Dalai Lama to his inauguration, Chen was seen as expressing solidarity with the Tibetan cause and challenging China's stance on the issue.
