@ 2023/08/30Will sort out all these problems with China in four years
Foxconn's billionaire founder, Terry Gou, has announced he intends to enter Taiwan's 2024 presidential race as an independent.
Touting his business and finance experience at the tech giant, Gou is pledging to boost the country's economy and fix its relations with China.
"Give me four years and I promise that I will bring 50 years of peace to the Taiwan Strait and build the deepest foundation for the mutual trust across the strait ... Taiwan must not become Ukraine and I will not let Taiwan become the next Ukraine." The Guardian reports:
Gou has hinted at running for several months after not being chosen as the candidate for the main opposition party, the Kuomintang (KMT).
He pledged support for the KMT's chosen candidate, Hou Yo-ih, but continued to hold public campaign-style events. Gou must collect 290,000 signatures by early November to qualify as an independent candidate.
