TAIPEI - Terry Gou, chairman of Apple supplier Foxconn, said on Wednesday he will follow the order of a sea goddess who has told him to run in Taiwan’s 2020 presidential election, although he added he has not yet formally declared his intention to contest. Gou was speaking as more than 100 people crowded into Ci Hui temple in Banqiao, New Taipei City, where the billionaire executive was born and grew up.
The temple is devoted to the sea goddess Mazu, a popular figure in Taiwan that governs everything from safety to fortune. On Tuesday, Gou said he was considering whether to run for Taiwan’s presidential election, a day after Reuters reported he planned to step down as chairman from Foxconn.Our Standards:

YimouLee Xi's hands are so far up Gou's ass you can check the time on Xi's watch by looking into Gou's mouth.
YimouLee Oh great! During debates he’ll feel disrespected and storm off the stage. Then he will call Trump.

Foxconn chairman says sea goddess told him to run for Taiwan's presidencyTerry Gou, who chairs the company that assembles iPhones and more, had told Reuters on Monday that he planned to step down from his role in coming months. Oh geez, Mazu told me to do it. Not the first guy to use that line. This is pretty irresponsible clickbait, because we have no idea in the context of Chinese culture what saying such a thing actually in Chinese inside a temple actually means. It could be vague and/or metaphorical, and not insane at all in cultural context. You miss all the shots you don't make
