“We plan to triple production in Taiwan,” a company official told the Taipei Times by telephone, quoting remarks Pegatron chief executive officer Liao Syh-jang (廖賜政) made at the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Taipei. Its operations outside China account for only a single-digit percentage of overall production, Liao was quoted as saying. Pegatron would recover full use of the Guishan plant in two years, Lin said. The [US-China] trade war only accelerated the process,” the official said, quoting Tung. Companies would eventually relocate — even without the US-China trade dispute — to reduce costs, the official quoted Tung as saying.
