REUTERS/Carlos Garcia Rawlins/File PhotoBut three months out from the election, Gou, whose net worth is estimated by Forbes at $6.7 billion, has gone to ground.
The tax investigation was first reported by the state-backed, strongly nationalist Chinese tabloid the Global Times, but in its English version of the story it suggested what China was actually unhappy with was Gou running for president as an independent, a decision he announced in August. Since the Global Times report came out, Gou's team has declined to comment, referring questions to Foxconn itself.
"Think big, but don't lose sight of details - this is the personality trait I noticed in Jobs. This is the trait in recent years I have come to expect in myself and encourage in every colleague around me." But Gou has languished in the polls and the two main opposition parties, the Kuomintang and Taiwan People's Party, have instead been talking to each other about a possible joint ticket, though those talks have foundered.
