TAIPEI -- Foxconn founder Terry Gou said on Wednesday he would run for Taiwan's presidency in 2020, as support for President Tsai Ing-wen erodes amid rising economic disparity and increased tensions with Beijing.
The billionaire businessman, who is expected to campaign on a more China friendly platform, will seek the nomination of the opposition Kuomintang. He said he had made his decision to run after divine intervention during a visit to the temple of sea goddess, Mazu, on Wednesday morning.
