In recent days, high temperatures have continued in various parts of China. The electricity load of air conditioners and other people’s livelihood has increased greatly, and the power supply has been tight. The Sichuan authorities have ordered all industrial power users to stop production, affecting the operations of Taiwanese manufacturers. In this regard, Xie Jinhe, chairman of Caixin Media, wrote on Facebook today (17 days) with the title “The big boss of the company has lost some empathy”: “It has always been a matter of stern scolding Taiwan and treating the other side leniently. The mindset that many business leaders are accustomed to is the same lack of electricity, power cuts, and domestic business leaders will have completely different reactions.”
Xie Jinhe mentioned that, early this morning, someone posted a meme on the Line group. The owner of the photo is Lin Bofeng, the chairman of Taiwan Glass and the chairman of the Sansan Association. He threatened to raise electricity prices in Taiwan before. If the company wants to leave, and there has been a power outage and blackout in Taiwan in the past, he must be the first to scold the government. He said that the company will suffer huge losses this time around the power cut in Sichuan, but he said that these six days will pass, and the performance is very mild.
Xie Jinhe said that the high temperature caused power outages in Sichuan, which impacted Taiwan’s notebook and panel industry. 80% of the global notebook computer shipments come from Sichuan, which will cause damage to Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Foxconn, and Pegatron. influences. Now this power rationing has also hit Jiangsu. It can be seen that in the high temperature climate, in China, due to the large demand for electricity, many areas must take power rationing measures.
Xie Jinhe lamented that Sichuan is limited to 6 days, and as long as it takes more than 6 hours in Taiwan, the whole people are already fried, and everyone will ask the chairman of Taipower and the Minister of Economics to step down and be responsible. But the same thing happened in China, and no one from Taiwan dared to say a word. This is the differential treatment of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. In the simplest terms, scolding officials in Taiwan and scolding the government for the other side may have extra points on the other side.
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi led a delegation to visit Taiwan in early August without fear of the Chinese Communist Party’s intimidation, triggering strong protests from the Chinese side for a several-day live-fire military exercise. Xie Jinhe pointed out that when Felosi came to Taiwan this time, Lin Bofeng and Miao Fengqiang, the chairman of the industry, jumped out and scolded, saying that the US congressmen were destroying the peace between the two sides of the strait for the sake of the election.
Xie Jinhe continued, Miao Fengqiang also promised that the future task of the Federation of Trade Unions is to lubricate cross-strait relations, but this task is a bit big, and cross-strait relations cannot be lubricated by enterprises. In the future, cross-strait relations will become more and more sensitive, and the role of businessmen will become more and more difficult. Big business owners can choose not to speak up. The most taboo is to humiliate Taiwan and insult officials to the other side. As soon as the big boss of the company raised his head, he moved his hands to see and watch. It is best to cherish Taiwan’s heart a little more!
