Taipei, June 30 (CNA) Perng Fai-nan (彭淮南), central bank governor of Taiwan, said like every one else in Taiwan, he has no influence on American voters, but if Donald Trump should become U.S. president, “God save the world.”

The 77-year-old economist with the title of “11 As” — because he had been named “best central banker in the world” 2005-2014 — said, “You and I do not have any influence on American voters.”

“God save the world. Heaven save the globe,” he added.     [FULL  STORY]
