Taiwan is the Center of Global Technology

Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo

Today, I heard people talking about the “Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone” (KEPZ) again, when I went out. As early as December 1966, I had already done business with "Avnet Taiwan Ltd." (ATL), a U.S. company located inside the zone, using "super-fine eyelets" that I made by my hands, and gradually Taiwan became the heart of the world’s technology industry.

To fully elaborate on the importance of precision industry would take several volumes, but today, I’ll begin by sharing the story of how, in 1966, I helped an American entrepreneur succeed and assisted in launching Apollo 4 into space by producing precision " Eyelets ."

Written by Peter Li-Chang Kuo (Chinese) Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)’s 1953 film “ Niagara ” captivated audiences not only with the charm of its leading lady, but also with the breathtaking grandeur of its filming location—the mighty Niagara Falls. In 1979, after arriving in New York, I couldn’t wait to visit the Falls myself, taking part in various tours: donning a raincoat to explore the tunnels, boarding a small boat shrouded in mist, and feeling the awe-inspiring power of water thundering down like ten thousand galloping horses.

The following year, in 1879, he invented the direct-current generator and designed a complete system for electricity production and transmission. His concept for power usage was “ to build numerous small power stations to promote community-based electricity ”—thus avoiding the need for widespread construction...
