Japanese media "Nikkei Asia Review" reported that Foxconn chairman Terry Gou told reporters January 22, is planning to invest in Pennsylvania to establish a plastic mould factory, the production of display panels. This is part of its planned total investment of 7 billion U.S. dollars. Terry Gou also told reporters that Apple may work together to complete the display panel investment projects. Two days after U.S. President Donald Trump delivered his inaugural address, Gou also warned against trade protectionism in his comments on the matter, but also said Foxconn has been considering investing for years. The Pennsylvania community and the Department of Economic Development confirmed in an e-mail that it had conducted related consultations with Foxconn. The department said: "Foxconn chairman earlier this month with our investment office representatives met and said they want to invest in Pennsylvania, but the meeting did not relate to the specific details of the project." "In mid-December 2016, Foxconn contacted the department\'s Taiwan office to investigate whether there are any investment projects available for settlement in Pennsylvania." With 1.3 million employees, Foxconn has approximately 10,000 injection plastic mould machines in its worldwide facilities for the production of mobile phones and electronics for global brands. Take the factory in Zhengzhou, China, for example, which allegedly produces 100 million handsets for Apple each year.
Foxconn / Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. is headquartered in New Taipei City, Taiwan Province, is the largest exporter in Greater China. Immediately after the meeting on January 22, Reuters and other media reported extensively that Gou said he would invest $ 7 billion in flat panel displays, and Pennsylvania may be the preferred investment location. The Nikkei Asia Review reports that Pennsylvania government officials attended the January 22 meeting. Because China\'s Lunar New Year is January 28, the meeting again calls the meeting the year-end party in Taipei.
