Kathy Yang of the Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) has been named to Fortune's "Most Powerful Women Asia 2026" list for the second time. Oct 12, 2026, 18:47 ET Leadership in the technology sector highlights Asia's impressive strength TAIPEI, October 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - In recognition of her responsibility at the intersection of the physical industrial world and the world of AI at the world's largest electronics manufacturer and supplier of AI servers, Kathy Yang of the Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) (TWSE:2317) has been named for the second time by Fortune to the "Most Powerful Women Asia 2026" ("Most Influential Women in Asia 2026") list. As managing director of global campus operations and head of the AI software business and AI infrastructure at Foxconn, Yang is among 16 honorees from the technology industry, the most represented sector on this year's prestigious list, followed by banking with 14. Her presence reflects the increasingly central role technology plays in Asia's economy, as companies in digital platforms and advanced manufacturing, as well as other technology-driven industries, grow in size and influence. "What stands out most in this year's ranking is how power dynamics in Asia's economy are developing," said Charmian Choo, senior executive for Fortune's Asia list. "We are seeing established leaders continue to shape some of the region's largest companies, while a new generation climbs the career ladder. Particularly notable is the importance of the technology industry, which reflects the sector's growing influence on Asia's economy and shows that women are increasingly taking a leading role in this shift." "Women in leadership positions play an important role in the industrial revolution in AI. The real challenge is not introducing technology, but redesigning workflows, investing in reskilling and helping our employees worldwide, women and men alike, to develop accordingly," said Yang of Foxconn, whose remit covers Foxconn's more than 240 locations in 24 countries. "In five years, the best factories will not simply be the most automated, but those in which people, AI and robots make each other better." Earlier this year, Yang was named by Fortune to its "Most Powerful Women in Business 2026" list. Her work connects Foxconn's global manufacturing capacity, technical expertise and operational know-how with software, data, computing infrastructure and AI. Yang previously served as rotating chairperson of Foxconn and was the first woman in that position. In that role, she focused on strengthening company-wide execution, cross-business coordination and consistent governance at one of the world's largest and most complex industrial conglomerates. She is also a board member of Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII) and chairperson and CEO of JUSDA, two important business units of Foxconn. Information about Fortune MPW Asia can be found here.

Chinese stocks fall as higher global yields, geopolitical tensions weigh. US probes into technology firms including Luxshare Precision Industry and Foxconn Industrial Internet further dented risk appetite. China stocks fell on Monday, as Beijing's supportive gestures failed to steady a sliding market, with investors unsettled by higher global interest rates and rising geopolitical tensions. The US launching probes into technology firms including Luxshare Precision Industry and Foxconn Industrial Internet further dented risk appetite. "The main anxiety comes from rising global yields," Caitong Securities said in its market outlook. "There's also the tail risk of a potential debt crisis" stemming from the weakest governments in the euro zone, Caitong Securities said. China's large-cap CSI300 Index lost 0.2% in the morning session, struggling near a one-year low. The Shanghai Composite Index slipped 0.1%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index edged up 0.2%. Market reaction was muted after China's top securities regulator Wu Qing held a seminar with market participants on Saturday to hear their suggestions on improving the capital market. In another sign of government support, regulators on Friday published draft rules that would lower the threshold for setting up equity mutual funds. The market has been dogged by the threat of rising bond yields as the widening war in the Middle East pushed oil prices higher, fuelling inflation concerns. Investors also worry that rising tensions with trading partners would hurt Chinese exports - one of the rare bright spots in China's unbalanced economy. On Friday, European trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic said China and the European Union had reached a deal that could cut Chinese exports of hybrid cars to the bloc by more than half. China's tech stocks declined on Monday, with Luxshare and Foxconn down after the US launched patent infringement investigations against the two companies. Foxconn slumped as much as 7% to a six-month low, while Luxshare was down 2%, almost touching the lowest since March. Consumer electronics, telecommunication and real estate were among the biggest losers in China, while banks and consumer stocks gained. In Hong Kong, banks and biotech stocks rose, while chipmakers and AI stocks fell. Stay current - Follow FMT on WhatsApp, Google news and Telegram
