Why It Matters
Huida CEO Huang Renxun has recently been involved in extramarital affairs and national security suspicions. Huida announced Huang Renxun's resignation on the evening of the 12th and its stock price plummeted. Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, made three comments. He believes that Huang Renxun's resignation should not affect Huida's relationship with Taiwan, but Huang Renxun's direct channel to Trump will disappear, and AMD CEO Lisa Su may need to take on this important responsibility.

[Real-time News/Comprehensive Report] Huida CEO Huang Renxun has recently been involved in extramarital affairs and national security suspicions. Huida announced on the evening of the 12th that Huang Renxun's stock price plummeted, attracting great attention from the outside world. Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, pointed out that Huang Renxun's resignation should not affect Huida's relationship with Taiwan. However, in the past, Huang Renxun had direct access to Trump. When Huang Renxun is away, there is one less person who can discuss Taiwan with Trump. Perhaps it will be up to AMD CEO Lisa Su to take on this important responsibility.

Ye Yaoyuan made three comments on this. First, whether Huang Renxun controls Huida will not affect Huida's cooperation with Taiwan's chip industry (TSMC), nor will it affect whether Huida's headquarters will still be located in Taipei. TSMC's chips are vital to Huida, and nothing can shake the partnership.
Secondly, Huida’s leadership from top to bottom is familiar enough with Taiwan, so Huang Renxun’s resignation should not affect Huida’s relationship with Taiwan.
Third, because Huang Renxun has direct access to Trump, when Huang Renxun is not in the position of president/CEO of Huida, there is one less person who can discuss Taiwan with Trump. Perhaps Su Zifeng will have to take on this important responsibility next.
