This article believes that the controversy over Huang Renxun’s personal ethics should not directly affect Huida’s investment in Taiwan. The case of Beshike’s headquarters has become involved in contractual and administrative procedures, but has been highly publicized by political attacks and defenses.
before thisHuida (Nvidia) CEOJen-Hsun Huang During his visit to Taiwan, wherever he went, the streets were packed with people and people rushed to take pictures. When Huida originally chose Taiwan to establish its headquarters, many local governments actively fought and competed for it. Now, Huang Renxun is involved in this scandal, and has also announced his resignation as the chairman, CEO and director of Huida. The trend has reversed in an instant, and some people have even started badmouthing Huida’s Taipei headquarters.
Huang, born in Tainan, led Huida to pioneer the global AI industry and brought Taiwan’s position to the forefront of the global technology supply chain. He has been welcomed as a hero during his many visits to Taiwan in the past, and is regarded as a “son of Taiwan” and “the light of Taiwan”. Now that Huang Renxun has personally been embroiled in controversy, some people are immediately eager to add insult to injury. Is this very realistic? There’s no need to make gods, but there’s also no need to completely deny his contributions to Taiwan’s industry just because of his personal morality.
In fact, Huang Renxun’s personal decision-making process cannot be directly linked with Huida’s corporate decision-making process. HUIDA is a company with significant global market value and technological impact. It has a global layout and long-term development strategy. It is impossible to tie all actions and investment decisions to the personal behavior of one person. Even if there is a change in leadership, it does not mean that the original investment plan will be reversed.
Judging from the current progress, HUIDA has completed the land rights contract for Beshike T17 and T18 bases with the Taipei City Government. The royalties are about 12.2 billion yuan, and the land rights are for 50 years and can be extended for another 20 years. Huida has also established a subsidiary in Taiwan. The Taipei City Government stated that the current performance of the contract is normal, and the performance bonds, royalties and land rent have been paid in accordance with the contract. The underground diaphragm wall project passed the review of the Metropolitan Inspection Committee on November 5, and the construction license was issued on July 15, and is still under review. In other words, it is a major investment case that is covered in contractual and administrative procedures. Of course, whether there will be changes in the future will still depend on HUIDA making a formal decision. However, being hasty in claiming that there may be changes at headquarters before there is any solid evidence is likely to undermine the electoral views of the current city government team.
HUIDA’s investment project has been politicized from beginning to end. Initially, some were clamoring to take credit, but now some are eager to put the blame aside and view Huida’s settlement in Taiwan as the result of political party competition. In fact, international corporate investment depends on the industrial environment, talent, supply chain and long-term development and everything should not be politicized.
Taiwan occupies a leading position in the global AI industry competition. From wafer foundries, servers, cooling, power supplies to various components, Taiwan’s supply chain is highly intertwined with Huida. The establishment of HUIDA’s overseas headquarters will not only create an additional office building, but can also boost talent, research and development, industrial clusters and international corporate investment. Such opportunities are extremely valuable to Taiwan. If the outside world has unnecessary doubts about Taiwan’s investment environment due to political attacks and defenses, it will not only affect the political performance of Taipei City, but may also harm the competitiveness of Taiwan as a whole.
Of course, politicians should strive for investment and they can also monitor the implementation of investment projects, but they cannot always be quick to take advantage of people when they are in the spotlight, and they cannot be quick to step aside when something goes wrong. This will only make people see the warmth and coolness of the Taiwanese people and the coldness of politics. Furthermore, major investments related to Taiwan’s industrial development cannot be used as political offensive and defensive tools for temporary electoral gains.
