TAIPEI -- Taiwan on Tuesday appointed the founder of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp. as its representative to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit next week, as China continues to block the self-ruled island from sending its president.
Morris Chang will attend in place of President Tsai Ing-wen, marking the third year in a row and the fourth time overall that the 89-year-old has been named in the role. The summit, hosted by Malaysia, will take place Nov. 20 via videoconference.
