By The founder of Foxconn, the Taiwan-based manufacturing company, Terry Gou, wants to bring Facebook’s cryptocurrency Libra with the digital currency of China in Taiwan.
Recently, the billionaire of Taiwan, Gou, said that introducing Libra in Taiwan will boost the country’s status as an international financial hub. He wants to connect Libra with the official digital currency of China, which is created by the People’s Bank of China.
Gou also said that the mainland of China is not ready to accept the Libra. They are building their digital currency, and Taiwan has a great chance to converge two different systems. Now, regulators in Taiwan come with a legal system for decentralized finance technologies. According to Gou, these fintech projects will be an advantage for semiconductors and crypto businesses. He declared that he would introduce a blockchain soon.
