Terry Gou, the head of the world's largest electronics supplier, Foxconn, says he plans to run for president of Taiwan.
His 2020 bid comes at a delicate time for cross-strait relations and delivers a blow to the ruling pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party, which is struggling in opinion polls.
China despises Tsai for refusing to endorse its claim to Taiwan as a part of Chinese territory, to be annexed by force if deemed necessary, and has cut all ties with her government while seeking to isolate it diplomatically. Gou, the 68-year-old son of a police officer who moved to Taiwan after the Communist takeover of the mainland in 1949, began his career in plastics before branching out into electronics and later mobile phones.
Gou is likely to face criticism from China skeptics in Taiwan, said Huang Kwei-bo, vice dean of the international affairs college at National Chengchi University in Taipei.
