A day after he said he was assaulted by pro-unification supporters, New York-based political commentator Cao Chang-ching (曹長青) said yesterday in Taiwan that he would not bow to violence and insisted on his belief that Taiwanese have the right to determine their future.

"It is shocking that an incident like this would happen in democratic Taiwan," said Cao of the assault on Sunday night.

Unhappy with Cao's pro-Taiwan-independence remarks made at an international conference on Sunday, four members of the pro-unification Patriot Association (愛國同心會) beat and orally abused Cao in the lobby of the Grand Hotel, Cao said.

Cao said that he will continue to insist on his personal freedom of speech and will never compromise in the face of violence.
