Just now, 72-year-old Gou Taiming announced his candidacy for the leader of Taiwan, and will launch a joint signature to qualify for the election.
He also claimed that if elected, he was confident that Taiwan would surpass Singapore as Asia's richest man with the highest GDP per capita in Asia.
This bull bragged, Po Island netizens were not happy at that time!
Gou announced his candidacy for leadership positions:
Let China Taiwan surpass Singapore
Become the richest man in Asia with the highest GDP per capita
On August 28, Hon Hai Group founder Terry Gou announced his candidacy for the leader of Taiwan.
Hon Hai Group, the parent company of Foxconn, Apple's largest foundry, was ranked 6th in 2023 by financial magazine Forbes on Taiwan's rich list, with a net worth of US$7.4 billion (about S$10 billion).
Gou said: "Today I announced my candidacy and launched a full range of signatures to qualify for the election, which is to represent the mainstream public opinion. ”
At the same time, Gou also said that giving him 4 years can bring peace to Taiwan in the next 50 years, and said, "Give me 4 years to develop science and technology and economy, so that Taiwan will surpass Singapore in 20 years and become the richest man in Asia with the highest per capita GDP in Asia!" ”
Singapore's per capita GDP is more than double that of Taiwan
Netizen: It is delusional to want to surpass in 20 years
Singapore and Taiwan are both "Asian tigers", and in 1960, the difference in per capita GDP between the two sides was not large.
However, after so many years, the gap between the per capita GDP of the two sides has become larger and larger. In 2022, Singapore's per capita GDP was US$79,426, ranking 6th in the world and the richest person in Asia.
Taiwan, on the other hand, has a per capita GDP of only $35,513, more than double.
Some netizens said that it is a fantasy to want to surpass Singapore in per capita GDP within 20 years. After all, Taiwan will develop, Singapore will also develop, and it is impossible to stand still in 20 years.
Netizen: Pure bragging
If active regression is possible
For Gou's remarks, netizens obviously did not buy it: this is to draw a pie, only fools believe it.
Some netizens said: I dare to say ah, this kind of requirement can only be met by scammers.
Some netizens said that this is pure bragging.
Some netizens ridiculed: If you take the initiative to return, maybe it is really possible...
However, some netizens analyzed that Gou's move was purely to disperse votes, in order to protect Qingde from power...
