The country’s richest man wants warmer ties with China
AT A TEMPLE festooned with red lanterns, Terry Gou, the founder of Foxconn, declared that Mazu, the sea goddess, had recently appeared to him in a dream. “Mazu told me to come out and do something,” he recounted after lighting some incense. Thus did the tycoon announce that he had decided to run for president. Mazu, he insisted, also urged him to seek peace with China.
Mr Gou has a good chance to secure the nomination of the KMT, which will pick a candidate based largely on an opinion poll, like the DPP, but also with some input from a vote of the party’s members. The two other declared candidates, Eric Chu, a former mayor of New Taipei City, and Wang Jin-pyng, a former speaker of parliament, are not as famous as Mr Gou.
But in another sense, Mr Gou’s business empire will be a liability. Most of Foxconn’s factories are in China. That gives the Chinese government huge leverage over him. It is hard to see how Mr Gou can escape from the glaring conflict of interest.
