Foxconn’s billionaire founder Terry Gou announced on Monday that he will run for president of Taiwan as an independent in the election scheduled for January 2024.
Gou, the self-ruled democracy’s richest man, has long held political ambitions and stepped down from Foxconn in 2019 in an attempt to secure the nomination of the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) in the last election.
He failed in that attempt and was also rebuffed earlier this year when the KMT, which is seen as being friendly to Beijing, chose Hou Yu-ih, the mayor of New Taipei City, as its candidate.
“I have decided to join the 2024 presidential race,” Gou told a press conference.
The tycoon will need to collect 290,000 signatures by November 2 to qualify as an independent candidate, and has been holding campaign-style events around Taiwan in recent months.
Foxconn is one of the world’s largest contract producers of electronics and a key supplier for Apple’s iPhones.
Promising ‘peace’
Gou accused the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), which has won the past two presidential elections, of leading “Taiwan towards the danger of war” and said their domestic policies also had mistakes.
“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,” he said in a plea to voters.
“Taiwan must not become Ukraine and I will not let Taiwan become the next Ukraine.”
Vice President Lai Ching-te – who is the DPP’s candidate – is the current election frontrunner, while the KMT’s Hou is running a distant third behind former Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je of the small Taiwan People’s Party.
Beijing has stepped up efforts to isolate Taiwan internationally and put pressure on its government ever since President Tsai Ing-wen was first elected in 2016.
China accuses Tsai of being a “separatist” and has staged regular military exercises near and around the island to express its disapproval of her administration and assert its claim over the island.
The DPP says the people of Taiwan should be the ones to decide their future.
At a press conference on Friday, Lai stressed the island’s status as a “sovereign country” and accused China of ratcheting up tensions across the strait.
“Taiwan holds regular elections for our president, vice president, legislators, officials, mayors and local government leaders, and they serve the people, so I think this shows that it is a fact that Taiwan is a sovereign country,” Lai said. “This is a fact, this is the truth.”
His comments came as Beijing criticised the United States for another weapons sale to Taiwan – a $500m package including technology such as infrared search and track systems for Taiwan’s F-16 fighter jets.
While the US does not formally recognise Taiwan, which is also known as the Republic of China, it is one of its top allies and chief security backers. Taiwan regularly buys weapons from the US as a deterrent against military action by China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping has promised to restore Taiwan to the “motherland” by 2049 and has not ruled out the use of force to achieve that goal.

Foxconn's Promises to Wisconsin Are Dead
Foxconn is selling off two of its large facilities in Wisconsin after years of neglected promises to bring thousands of jobs to Eau Claire and Green Bay. The Taiwanese manufacturing company has pivoted from one potential production idea to the next since it broke ground in 2017 and gave then-President Donald Trump an opportunity to take photos and claim he’s bringing jobs back to the United…

#鴻海集團 #Foxconn #郭台銘董事長 #TerryGou #忌入我宮 #iLucky986愛幸運紫微斗數命理 #紫微斗數 #命理 #astrology #fortune #horoscope
許多網友看到忌就嚇得半死。但卻沒有分清楚忌入我宮或是忌沖我宮,天下沒有白吃的午餐。祿只主緣起,喜歡,想要,但是祿不主結果。忌是辛苦,付出,收藏。忌才是結果。這是完全不同的事情。忌入我宮,我自己辛苦付出後我自己收穫,忌入我宮不是壞事。忌沖我宮,辛苦後的結果跟我無緣。
更多人忽略了更重要的事情,���命盤的祿或忌在哪裡,那是表象。但沒有看祿轉祿或祿轉忌,忌轉祿或忌轉忌在不同大限盤的變化,就像是看到一棟房子,以為那個房子位置好(祿)或位置不好(忌),卻沒有注意山坡地順向坡土石流,地層斷層(地震)或是地層液化,地層下陷,海砂屋,輻射屋等對房子會造成的影響變化。甚麼時間點會發生土石流,地層液化,地層斷層讓房子受斷層帶影響? 那都必須在不同大限盤中看祿忌等變化。
鴻海集團郭台銘董事長田宅宮坐生年忌轉忌入命宮(人生最不好的事情),小時家境不好,幼年辛苦的經驗讓他努力。鴻海集團郭台銘董事長田宅宮忌自化祿照子女宮,家裡辛苦,家裡讓他合夥轉業(郭媽媽用會錢做郭台銘董事長創業資本),郭台銘董事長虛歲33-42歲人生最壞轉好。鴻海1991年6月18日股票上市,郭台銘董事長虛歲42歲。
郭台銘董事長紫微斗數命盤忌入我宮,太陽生年祿在奴僕轉忌入疾厄宮(我宮),奴僕宮轉祿入財帛宮,奴僕宮祿忌都入郭台銘董事長自己的宮位(疾厄宮和財帛宮),朋友大眾多-日夜顛倒(太陽在子,晚上但光芒四射的太陽),大眾給他賺錢機會,大眾需要他的工作能力。
疾厄宮,田宅宮,命宮是我宮,自己辛苦耕耘,自己得到收穫。忌入我宮是好忌。
疾厄宮看健康,工作能力。當疾厄宮有天機自化忌,右弼自化科,就意味有變化。甚麼樣的變化? 就看哪個宮位讓疾厄宮化祿忌。
本命盤看一個人基本人事物的對待關係。大限盤(有網友在Youtube也詢問大限盤是甚麼意思,簡單來說,十年河東十年河西。鴻海郭台銘董事長幼年家境不算好,但是他不是一輩子都不好。人生唯一不變的就是有變化。人生會有由壞轉好,由好轉壞的各種情況。大限盤就是看好壞變化的時間點。
紫微斗數命盤不是只看每個流年,十二年輪迴一次,下一個十二年跟過去的十二年和未來的十二年即使重回同一個宮位,但是大限命宮變化宮位了,大限夫妻宮在十幾歲和二十幾歲,三十幾歲都不在同一個宮位,情況就會不同。
看到食古不化的紫微斗數命理老師認為星曜的旺弱宮位決定一個人的人生成敗?不論是鴻海董事長郭台銘和星宇航空的張國煒都是太陽化祿在子(太陽的弱陷宮位),太陽祿都在奴僕宮(生年祿還在他人的宮位),這兩人都因為太陽(男性官祿主)在太陽的弱陷宮位和生年祿在他人宮位而人生失敗沒有出息?反而藝人張庭的太陽生年祿在午宮夫妻宮(太陽的旺盛宮位),卻在去年底因為傳銷行銷方式被大陸查稅等。21世紀,還用生活在農耕時代思考的命理老師和書籍?自誤誤人,害人害己。

Even Foxconn, China's largest private-sector employer, isn't immune from Beijing's whims. 
Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, is a huge contributor to China's employment and economic growth. It employs 800,000 people in China. Thanks to the company's economic importance, it has thus far enjoyed tax breaks and favorable land-use levies in China. 
But over the weekend, Chinese media reported that Foxconn — the key Apple iPhone supplier based in Taiwan — is under tax audits and investigations into its land use.
The timing of the government's announcement is significant: It comes just about 11 weeks before Taiwan's presidential elections, which are slated to occur in January. And Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of Foxconn, is one of the candidates eyeing the presidency.
In an exchange filing on Sunday, Foxconn said it would cooperate with the investigation.

「宮崎正弘の国際情勢解題」 
令和五年(2023)4月11日(火曜日)
  通巻第7702号 <前日発行>
 鴻海精密工業が高雄にふたつの大工場建設
  郭台銘、2024台湾総統選立候補声明直後に派手な式典
************************
 高雄市長(鎮其邁)、副市長列席の下、鴻海精密工業(フォックスコム)からは系列「鴻海科技集団」会長の劉楊偉がひな壇に立って、高雄にふたつの大工場を建設する壮麗な着工式が行われた。
日本円換算で1000億円を投じ、EVならびに電池工場を建設、およそ2000名の雇用を見込む。中国大陸での新工場はアメリカの圧力を前にして鴻海精密工業としては、台湾に建てた方が得策と判断したのだろう。
 大工業都市となった高雄市は新設の工業団地がある。そのうちの一つ、和発産業団地ではEV電池を生産し、橋闘科学園ではEV自動車仕様のバスを年間500台製造する。2025年に生産開始を見込むとした。
 台湾メディアはこうした前向きの投資プロジェクトを大きく報じているが、主役はなんと入っても鴻海CEO郭台銘である。郭は正式に2024年台湾総統選への立候補を表明したからである。
かれの両親は山西省出身だから、外省人二世である。英語名はテリー・ゴウ(Terry Gou)。シャープ買収で日本でも名を馳せ、『フォーブス』長者番付で台湾一の富豪となった。
1974年「鴻海プラスチック企業有限公司」を設立、当時台湾の産業を支えたプラスチック製品の製造・加工を始め、創業時は白黒テレビのつまみを作る街工場だった。
「鴻海」の由来は「鴻飛千里、海納百川」(鴻(おおとり)は千里を飛び、海はすべての川を納める)。初心からスケールは大きかったのだ。
以後、躍進を続けた。85年には米国へ進出、88年には中国に富士康(フォックスコン)を立ち上げて100万人を雇用した。映画のモデルにもなった。
 ▲鴻海高雄のCEOには日本人が就く
2023年2月1日、日本電産CEOだった関潤氏が鴻海EVのCEOとして赴任と電撃的に発表された。関は日産のナンバー3のCOO(最高執行責任者)として、カルロス・ゴーンが食い逃げた後の日産立て直しに尽力していた。
或る日突然、永守重信に説得され日本電産に電撃移籍した経緯がある。
しかし業績不振を理由に22年九月に日本電産を突如解任され、永守重信会長とは袂を分かっていた。
鴻海精密工業は、日本電産の売り上げの13倍もある。
嘗て『台湾の松下幸之助』と言われたのは台湾プラスチックの王永慶で小さな材木商の丁稚小僧から世界的企業に育てた(筆者は三十年ほど前に王とインタビューのため台北の台湾プラスチック本社ビルを訪ねたことがある。王が伝法な日本語を喋るのには驚いた)。
郭台銘もおなじく立志伝中の人物だが、放言癖とぎらぎらした野心はトランプとそっくりだという人もいる。そういえば孫正義、馬雲と並んでトランプが出席したSBGの鍬入れ式でも郭台銘が並んだ。
王永慶が不在となった後、台湾財界を率いるのはTSMC(台湾積体電路製造股fen
限公司)の創設者、張忠謀と、この郭台銘である。知名度は世界的にも抜群。
この国民的人気によって国民党予備選で党首席の朱立倫と新北市市長の候友宜を飛び越える可能性はなきにしもあらず。政治的閉塞感をうち破る勢いに台湾の庶民が期待するからだろう。
むろん、与党・民進党関係者は郭台銘が北京寄りの政治姿勢であることを警戒している。また国民党は党内秩序が乱されることを懸念し、郭台銘の電撃参入には迷惑顔だ。
ましてや次期総統選挙前哨戦の段階で、第三党「台湾民衆党」の何文哲(元台北市長)も正式に立候補を声明している。混線となると、『台湾のトランプ���が誕生する可能性はゼロとは言えなくなった。現時点では国民党予備選に勝ったわけでもないから泡沫でしかないけれども、高杉晋作が言ったように「時の勢いには勝てない」のである。
 4月9日に行われた日本の地方統一選挙が最適の見本、奈良県知事が格好の材料を提供してくれる。自民分裂で票が割れ、場違いな候補に勝利をさらわれた。二位と三位の票を足すと当選者より多いのである。したがって台湾総統選挙、何文哲が出馬すれば国民党候補が漁夫の利を得ることは明らかである。

Apple Risks Getting Caught in Taiwan Tensions With iPhone Supplier Probes
Oct. 24, 2023 9:00 am ET

(2 min)
For decades, Apple has navigated an escalating series of challenges in China, from fake stores and factory protests to tightening censorship and app rules. Now, the iPhone maker risks getting dragged into the most volatile issue in U.S.-China relations: the future of Taiwan.
On Sunday, Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn Technology—one of Apple’s largest suppliers—said it is cooperating with Chinese authorities after state media reported China had opened tax and land-use probes into the company. The investigations come as Foxconn’s billionaire founder Terry Gou pursues a bid for the Taiwan presidency.

‘Trump-like’ billionaire presidential candidate in Taiwan promises ’50 years of peace’ with China
Tumblr media
Taiwan Billionaire Terry Gou Officially Enters Presidential Race Terry Gou, the billionaire founder of Foxconn and a prominent figure in Taiwanese politics, has officially registered as an independent candidate for the upcoming presidential election on January 13, 2024. After declaring his candidacy in late August, he resigned from his position as a board member of Foxconn in early September to focus on his election campaign. Gou surprised many by choosing Tammy Darshana Lai, a well-known actress-singer and author, as his running mate. Lai played a Taiwanese presidential candidate in a Netflix drama that contributed to the #MeToo movement on the island. The Gou-Lai campaign aims to challenge the decisions of the incumbent party, which they argue have increased tension with China, weakened Taiwan's economy, and isolated the nation from the rest of the world. The presidential race now features four candidates, but Gou's message of strengthening the economy and fostering peace with China does not appear to resonate with the majority of Taiwanese voters, as he consistently ranks last in opinion polls. Some have drawn comparisons between Gou and former U.S. President Donald Trump due to their bold, often unrealistic proposals, like Gou's promise to boost Taiwan's GDP per capita. Gou has also controversially advocated for reducing or ending purchases of American weapons systems and even proposed creating a drone or robot army to defend Taiwan from China. Despite these similarities, the two differ significantly in their backgrounds and public speaking abilities. Gou's parents moved from China to Taiwan in 1947, and he did not attend prestigious universities or business schools. He spent two years in the Taiwanese Army, stationed on Kinmen Island, just miles from the Chinese coast. After his military service, he started a small plastics manufacturing firm, which later became the global electronics manufacturer Foxconn, known for its association with Apple. Gou had previously been involved in Taiwanese politics indirectly, endorsing the Kuomintang (KMT) presidential candidate in 2012. However, he became more actively involved in 2019, entering the KMT presidential primary, which he lost. In 2020, the KMT nominee lost to the Democratic Progressive Party's Tsai Ing-wen, who is now required to step down in 2024. Gou initially promised to support the KMT's nominee for the 2024 election but later decided to run as an independent candidate, leaving many in Taiwan puzzled. Some believe he may attempt to rally non-DPP voters as a "consensus candidate." While Gou's polling numbers remain low, some suggest he could appeal to "hidden voters" who do not respond to polls. These undecided voters, however, may still not guarantee him a victory. Gou's history of business dealings in China has raised questions about his ability to handle China-Taiwan relations effectively. Some view him as well-equipped to bring stability to the situation, while others see his close ties to business interests associated with Beijing as a drawback. With the opposition divided into three camps, President Tsai's designated successor, Vice President William Lai of the ruling DPP, appears to be the front-runner, making his victory in the upcoming election highly likely.
