TAIPEI -- Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou, who was once seen as a likely front-runner in Taiwan's presidential election, is struggling to expand support as his sprawling business empire on the mainland raises concerns about his priorities.
Gou's business experience was expected to become a great asset when he announced his bid in April. Gou founded Foxconn, formally Hon Hai Precision Industry, in 1974 and has turned it into a major Apple supplier that reported sales revenue of 5.29 trillion New Taiwan dollars ($171 billion) for 2018.
