[cover] Guo Taiming once again made headlines. The last time it was hotly discussed that he might face Tsai Ing-wen in 2020. This time, he made Tsai Ing-wen cry even more embarrassing
[text] On July 26, local time in the United States, Foxconn announced that it will invest $10 billion in Wisconsin in the next four years to build an LCD panel factory, creating 3,000 jobs for Wisconsin, and have the opportunity to reach 13,000 people. On the same day, under the witness of US Vice President Mike Pence, Wisconsin Governor Cote Walker and House Speaker Paul Ryan, US President Trump and Foxconn founder and President Terry Gou jointly announced the investment project at a ceremony held in the East District of the White House . Terry Gou said: "From today on we will invest in Wisconsin. I know you promised to increase employment in the United States, and we also promised to provide better job opportunities for the American people." U.S. President Trump regarded this investment as his credit. Trump said that if he was not elected, Terry Gou would definitely not invest this $10 billion, and said that Terry Gou was one of the greatest businessmen in the world. He said: "This is a wonderful day for American workers and manufacturers and those who believe in the concept and brand of 'Made in the United States'." " LCD panel production is mainly concentrated in Asia, South Korea, Japan, mainland China and Taiwan. The related industrial chains are already very mature. This time, Foxconn will build a huge new factory in southeastern Wisconsin, USA. The factory will also become the most advanced 8K LCD panel production line in the United States. The outside world believes that this will promote the long-term development of in the mid-west United States. It is understood that LCD panels are mainly concentrated in Asia, South Korea, Japan, mainland China and Taiwan, and the related industrial chains are very mature. This time, Foxconn will build a huge new factory in southeastern Wisconsin, the United States, which will also become the most advanced 8K LCD panel production line in the United States. Foxconn's largest green space investment in immediately became the focus of the media as soon as it was announced. The US media analyzed that this investment case was led by Trump, and on the other hand, cashing in the election check, which is also a political consideration for future re-election. "Straits Today" special commentator Hong Lin analyzed when he was a guest at the Beijing studio that the US economy has recovered in recent years and the economic situation is relatively healthy. Not only is the manufacturing capacity improving, but also large upstream manufacturers such as Apple have announced that they will increase their efforts to set up factories in the United States, so it is indeed a good opportunity to invest in and build factories in the United States. For Terry Gou, in addition to economic considerations, there are also strategic considerations. Terry Gou is the only business leader who held a press conference with Trump at the White House. This honor is not something that ordinary people cannot get, which also reflects that Terry Gou has a very sharp political sense of smell. This investment can help Terry Gou diversify risks and seize the opportunity of US economic recovery. Foxconn set up a factory in the United States, in addition to Terry Gou's strategic consideration, it also reflects that Taiwan's investment environment is becoming increasingly difficult. In addition to Foxconn, TSMC, which can contribute about 4% to , Taiwan's GDP, has also reported that the environmental impact assessment of the Nanke Kaohsiung park road bamboo base cannot be completed as expected. The NT$500 billion 3nm process investment plan has taken into account "the establishment of a factory in the United States". Taiwan financial experts analyzed that not only taxes, but also land is a major problem in Taiwan, and Taiwan seems to be facing a new round of hollowing out crisis. Some Taiwanese media also said that in recent years, Tsai Ing-wen's so-called "investment in Taiwan" has been a shocking slogan, but if Tsai Ing-wen cannot create strong conditions for "investment in Taiwan", it will not only fail to reverse Taiwan's investment environment, but will continue to sink to the decline of Taiwan's economy. The departure of enterprises will cause industrial hollowing out and Taiwan's economy will not recover. "Today's Strait" special commentator Hong Lin pointed out that Taiwan faces great difficulties in attracting investment. Foreign capital cannot attract in and cannot retain Taiwan's funds. Foxconn's investment in the United States this time shows that Taiwan's large companies may follow suit after careful consideration. If this trend continues, it will cause the island's economy to become "hollowed". If Taiwan's economy gradually becomes dark, it will have a great impact on Taiwan's politics. When large enterprises leave one after another, the Taiwan authorities' "foresight plan" will be cut off. When the Taiwan authorities want to promote some construction on a large scale, it will be difficult to get a response from the economic sector. . As for how the mainland viewed Foxconn’s investment case, are you worried that Foxconn’s response to “Made in the United States” will affect the employment opportunities of mainland employees? Ma Xiaoguang, spokesman of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said today that he had noticed relevant reports that Foxconn Group has continued to expand its investment in the mainland this year, and the original companies have not been affected. (Note: In March this year, Foxconn spent 61 billion yuan to set up a new factory in Guangzhou to produce 8K LCD panels.) Taiwanese businessmen generally believe that the mainland's economic development is improving in the long run, and the development prospects of Taiwanese enterprises and enterprises are broad. At the same time, our attitude of supporting Taiwanese-funded enterprises to take root and develop in the mainland is consistent and clear, and we will continue to take positive measures to create a favorable environment for Taiwanese-funded enterprises to develop in the mainland.
