tsai ing-wen in a debate. beijing views taiwan as a breakaway province. >>> well, eric chu is the mayor of taipei say and supports the outgoing president's policy. wen has the sizable lead in the poll, and if elected she'll be taiwan's first female president. the final candidate for presidency is the people's first party's james soong. he unsuccessfully contested th the 2000 presidential election and founded his own party. soong has strong connections with beijing's communist leaders. adrian brown has been watching that debate from beijing. >> well, the reason why there is so much interest in these election, the sixth since taiwan became a democracicy 20 years ago. for the first time in a taiwanese election a woman is the clear frontrunner. she's tsai ing-wen. 59 years old, and single and leader of the progressive party. she would be the first female president in a chinese society. she says she wants good relations with china, but worries that taiwan is becoming too economically dependent on beijing. one of he
