The billionaire founder of tech giant Foxconn, Terry Gou, has announced he will run for president of Taiwan as an independent candidate, pledging to fix cross-strait relations and boost Taiwan’s economy.
At a press conference on Monday, Gou – a well-known and outspoken businessman – announced what he called “the era of entrepreneurs’ rule”.
“I have decided to join the 2024 presidential race,” he said, touting his business and finance experience, including dealings 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.”
I know nothing about this man, but the conspiracy theorist in me sees
Taiwan must not become Ukraine and I will not let Taiwan become the next Ukraine.”
And think “sure, cause you’ll give up right away and hand things over to Pooh in Chief”
Yep. Let’s elect the mole who China holds billions of dollars of leverage over? This guy gets elected and Taiwan becomes HK.
What he says: “I promise that I will bring 50 years of peace to the Taiwan Strait”
What he means: “I want to make sure my multi-billion dollar business doesn’t get threatened, so I’m going to completely give in to China at the first chance I get.”
You would think there is enough history of useful idiots being disposed off that it’s hilarious that he thinks that he would remain in a influential position after unification.
You mean ‘suck Xitler’s dick’.
Ah yes another billionaire without vision. Crooks and myopic pricks they are.
I’m so tired of tech bro billionaires who think they’re the only ones who can “fix” things.
Chinese plant.
