Foxconn billionaire founder Terry Gou announces at a press conference that he will run for president of Taiwan as an independent candidate. "If the Chinese communist leadership says ‘If you don’t listen to me, I will seize the assets of Foxconn,’ I would say ‘Yes please do it’. I am willing to sacrifice my personal assets for them not to attack Taiwan," declared Gou. "Facing the threat of war across the Taiwan Strait and in China-US relations, Taiwan must never become Ukraine, and I would never let Taiwan become the next Ukraine," he said. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
