TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – Following the announcement this week that smartphone
maker HTC was selling part of its operations and employers to U.S. Internet giant Google, a prominent financial expert said the government should make a bigger effort to support prominent Taiwanese brands, such as Giant, Gogoro and I-Mei Foods.
Taking part in a discussion about the HTC deal on Sanlih E-Television, commentator Tsai Ming-chang (蔡明彰) said the administration of President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) should assist native companies and brands which made contributions to Taiwan’s overall economy, in addition to her emphasis on a digital economy and green environmentally friendly policies.
The financial expert specifically mentioned I-Mei Foods as the example of a Taiwanese company with a good image. It was the only Taiwanese name which had entered the top-10 of Asia’s most influential brands in a review of 120 brands published in April last year, Tsai said. [FULL STORY]
