The 91-year-old founder of the world’s largest semiconductor manufacturer TSMC, Morris Chang, is representing Taiwan at the Asia-Pacific Summit (APEC) for the sixth consecutive year.
Departing from Taipei on Thursday, Chang said he would seek to represent Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen, including promoting Taiwan’s role in global semiconductor manufacturing and sustainable economic development.
The chairman cannot be present
Due to pressure from Beijing, which only sees Taiwan as part of the People’s Republic, the president cannot attend. The founder of the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (TSMC) acts as an envoy for Tsai Ing-wen.
The democratic island republic has belonged to the Asia-Pacific Economic Community (APEC) since 1991, only under the unofficial name “Chinese Taipei”.
