TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Terry Gou, chairman of the world's largest contract assembler of consumer electronics, including Apple's iPhones, said Wednesday he intends to run for president of Taiwan, bringing his pro-business and China-friendly policies to what is expected to be a crowded field for next year's election.

The Foxconn Technology chairman who also ranks among Taiwan's richest people with a fortune estimated by Forbes at $7.8 billion is seeking the opposition Nationalist Party's nomination for the 2020 presidential race against an incumbent hampered by low public approval ratings.
