> Mr Liu also said Foxconn is trying to "convert itself from a manufacturing service company to a platform solution company," citing smart cities and smart manufacturing as other applications for AI factories.

Its seems like China is trying to speed run modern capitalism they are now moving from the manufacturing stage to the "spew constant BS in order to deceive investors stage".

Foxconn is Taiwanese.

Yes and for now Taiwan is not China...

As I understand it, that island (Taiwan) hasn't ever been part of (CCP) China?

Taiwan is basically as-if the Confederacy fled from the Union and took over Cuba. And then both the Confederacy and Union laid claim to the United States except obviously the Union actually has physical control over it. Also imagine that the rest of the world was pro-slavery so they liked the Confederacy more so initially all the countries only recognize Taiwan as the actual "United States" but its obviously more practical to recognize the Union (China) as the actual "United States" as you start doing a ton of business.

Basically replace Union with CCCP, Cuba with Taiwan, and pro-slavery with Democracy (CCCP being Communists).

More like if the union lost and fled to Cuba. But there is really no point in trying to making this comparison. They are only similar in that both are civil wars. Beyond that they are different in almost every aspect: from the initial conditions to the war itself to its end.

And their factories are in China.
