Taiwan-based Foxconn Technology Company says they are planning a new mill factory in Michigan in the United States
FROM WISCONSIN TO MICHIGAN: In July, Foxconn announced that they should build an iPhone factory in Wisconsin. Now they are planning another Michigan factory to develop technology for self-propelled cars. Here, Foxconn boss Terry Gou (left) and Governor Scott Walker keep the flag of Wisconsin to celebrate the new factory investment.
The new giant factory will be used to research and develop technology for self-propelled cars, writes South China Morning Post.
According to Foxconn founder Terry Gou, this type of technology is more advanced in the United States than in China, and Gou is also interested in researching artificial intelligence and learning technology.
The news comes only one week after Foxconn announced that they are also planning a factory in Wisconsin worth $ 10 billion, equivalent to $ 98.7 billion.
It is uncertain what the price of the factory in Michigan will be accurate, according to Marketwatch.
Can create over 13,000 jobs
The Wisconsin factory will produce LCD panels for iPhone, which will create about 3,000 jobs.
Potentially, the number of jobs can grow to 13,000 within four years.
This could be a boost for Donald Trump in view of his election gaps about investing and creating jobs for Americans, as well as the "America First" slogan, writes South China Morning Post.
Foxconn Technology Company is the world's largest consumer electronics contractor, and the company has delivered computers to Dell, as well as iPhones and iPads for Apple.
With tax incentives and subsidies from US states that are desperate for Foxconn's investments, it can actually be cheaper with factories in the United States than in China, where higher wages and lack of skilled labor is an increasing problem.
