KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan--- Foxconn is considering shifting some server production out of China and hiring up to 3,000 high-end software engineers for a big-data processing hub in this southern Taiwanese city, citing cybersecurity concerns amid the ongoing trade war between Washington and Beijing, Chairman Terry Gou said.
"We don't know how the U.S.-China trade war is going to develop," Gou told a press conference in Kaohsiung on Sunday afternoon. "Some sensitive data has to be stored in a third-party location and Taiwan is a neutral location between China and the U.S."
