In early November 2008, Chen Yunlin, chairman of mainland China's Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, paid a visit to Taiwan. Amid his tight schedule, he specifically requested a visit to AU Optronics (AUO), Taiwan's largest display panel manufacturer and the world's third largest, as well as to Altek Corp., the world's second-largest digital camera manufacturer.
