Foxconn Founder Terry Guo Announces 2024 Taiwan Presidential Bid
Foxconn founder Terry Guo, 72, has announced that he will be running for president in Taiwan's important 2024 race amid aggression and threats of invasion by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In comments to the press, Mr. Guo, the billionaire founder of the major Apple Inc. supplier, said that Taiwan "absolutely cannot be the next Ukraine" and that he will not allow "Taiwan to be the next Ukraine." Mr. Guo will run as an independent. He stepped down as Foxconn chief in 2019 and made a presidential bid that year, but dropped out after he failed to win the nomination for Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang KMT, which traditionally favors close ties with China.
【譯文】富士康創辦人郭台銘宣布 競選2024臺灣總統
72歲富士康創辦人郭台銘宣布，將角逐關鍵2024年臺灣總統，對抗中共挑釁與侵略威脅。蘋果主要供應商創辦人、億萬富翁郭先生向媒體表示，臺灣「絕不能成為下一個烏克蘭」，他也絕不允許「臺灣成為下一個烏克蘭」。 郭先生將以獨立人士身分參選。2019年他辭去富士康董事長一職角逐總統，但未能贏得臺灣主要反對黨國民黨提名，而退出選舉。國民黨歷來主張與中國保持密切關係。
