Taiwan and China: making the connection

Article Abstract:

Taiwan and China have begun direct trading in an attempt to smoothen out trade relations between the two countries. The Taiwanese ship Uni-Order sailed for the mainland port of Xiamen carrying containers for repositioning and the move is the first attempt to restore shipping relations between the two countries that have been severed since the 1950s. The move is seen to facilitate shipping to the mainland and is predicted to steal market share from Hong Kong ports.

Hyundai's cruises navigate a course in uncharted waters

Article Abstract:

- Hyundai Asan and Hyundai Merchant Marine, both affiliates of Hyundai Group, have had trouble booking passengers on their cruises to North Korea. Hyundai operates strictly in Korea, and only started allowing Americans to join a year and a half ago, while Japanese have been allowed since last October. One of the factors in their low booking is that the island is located within military territory, and opportunities for tourist photography are strictly limited.
