Taipei, May 6 (CNA) Hon Hai Precision Industry Chairman Terry Gou (郭台銘), who has thrown his hat into Taiwan’s 2020 presidential race, called on Beijing publicly Monday to face the truth that the Republic of China (ROC) exists.

Donning a cap displaying ROC (Taiwan) and U.S. flags, the 68-year-old business tycoon whose company assembles iPhones for Apple, asked the Chinese media at a press conference in Taipei not to blur out the flag cap, saying that problem was why he entered the race.

“Mainland China should squarely face the truth that the Republic of China exists,” Gou urged while also suggesting that the two sides across the Taiwan Strait jointly create growth on the basis of cross-strait peace.

Gou issued the appeal as he tried to clarify a controversial comment made during his visit to the United States last week that “Taiwan is an inseparable part of China.”
