China, Taiwan direct travel to start today

15 December 2008

The Wall Street Journal Asia

TAIPEI -- China and Taiwan will start a new era of direct air and shipping services Monday when planes and ships travel directly across the Taiwan Strait, formally ending a six-decade ban on regular links.

Relations have improved between the once-bitter rivals since Taiwanese President Ma Ying-jeou took office in May and moved to reverse the pro-independence policy of his predecessor, Chen Shui-bian.

China has reacted warmly, and although the mainland still claims sovereignty over the self-governed island, both have agreed to set aside thorny political disputes to focus on trade and economics. The two sides split amid civil war in 1949.

The first Taiwanese ships are scheduled to leave from the island's Kaohsiung and Keelung harbors for Chinese ports about noon Monday. Ships with mainland companies are to sail vessels to Taiwan from Shanghai and Tianjin.

Up to 60 cargo flights a month will start to fly Monday between Taiwan and the mainland. Daily passenger flights will also start, with 16 scheduled Monday, in an expansion of weekend charter services inaugurated in July.

Twenty-one member economies are taking part in the APEC summit in Honolulu, hosted this year by the United States.Chinese President Hu Jintao arrived in Honolulu Thursday, as ministerial talks were under way.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in remarks at the East-West Center, said the United States will increase its Pacific investments in the coming decades.

“It is becoming increasingly clear that, in the 21st century, the world's strategic and economic center of gravity will be the Asia-Pacific, from the Indian subcontinent to western shores of the Americas,” Clinton said.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, speaking to reporters, said the crisis in Europe remains the central challenge to global growth. He says APEC finance ministers voiced support for last week's pledge by the G20 leaders to work for global recovery. He says China can help through a more flexible exchange rate.

“China, in particular, must continue to allow its currency to strengthen, and China has acknowledged the importance of faster exchange rate adjustment,” Geithner said.

The United States hopes to expand Pacific trade, and to finalize a framework for a Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade zone. Talks now involve nine nations, including the United States, Australia, Peru, Chile and Vietnam.

President Barack Obama will arrive here Friday and meet with other Asia Pacific leaders over the weekend.

李嘉诚带领中国富人走上慈善之路

Now, Mr. Li, the chairman of Hong Kong conglomerate Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., is leading a growing group of wealthy Chinese who are challenging tradition and embracing a more open approach to giving. Last year, Mr. Li announced plans to give a third of his fortune -- a pledge estimated at more than US$10 billion -- to his foundations that fund philanthropic projects around the world. The move will give the Li Ka-shing Foundation an endowment that rivals the $11 billion Ford Foundation, the second-largest U.S. philanthropy after the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

译文：现在，由和记黄埔（Hutchison Whampoa Ltd.）董事长李嘉诚领军，已经有越来越多的中国富人正在挑战传统，走上一条更开放的慈善之路。去年，李嘉诚宣布将自己三分之一的财产归入李嘉诚基金会名下，致力于全世界的慈善事业。据估计这笔财产总价值超过100亿美元，这令李嘉诚基金的规模足以媲美福特基金（Ford Foundation）。后者是美国第二大慈善基金，规模达110亿美元，仅次于比尔及梅林达-盖茨基金会（Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation）。

中国：经济危机让老外男友也失宠

You know the economic crisis is really rippling when it starts making foreign men less attractive to Chinese women.

Chinese dating websites report a recent drop in the number of women seeking foreigners, but that is not because of a sudden availability of Chinese bachelors. It's because one of the big advantages Western men seem to offer – a financially secure future – now looks a lot less certain.

译文：知道吗？经济危机真的来了，因为对中国妇女来说，老外们的吸引力已经开始退色。

中国一些约会网站报告说，近来寻找外国人的中国妇女数目已经下降，但这并非因为中国单身光棍们突然有了什么状况。真正的原因在于，西方男人所能提供的最大优势——未来的财务安全，如今似乎已变得不那么可靠。

1Victory still out of battling Reds' reachPosted October 24, 2009 20:43:00 Grinding it out。

Hughes scored Adelaide's lone goal, but the contest was closer than the scoreline. (Getty Images: Lucas Dawson)Map: Melbourne 3000A gutsy second half effort by Adelaide United gave Melbourne a fright but the reigning A-League premiers escaped with a 3-1 victory at Docklands on Saturday evening.An 88th-minute goal to Adrian Leijer, completely untroubled by the visitors' defence, was enough to seal United's fate for good after youngster Mate Dugandzic scored the opening two goals.The three points sent Melbourne temporarily to the top of the A-League, and it will stay there if Gold Coast and Sydney lose this weekend.Adelaide is left hovering in the middle of the competition table after 12 rounds.The grand final rematch was the eighth time in a row the Reds have lost against Melbourne, but they often looked every bit as good as their opponents.Coach Aurelio Vidmar said earlier in the week that the team had been working on self-belief and it certainly showed after the break, when the visitors came out with renewed vigour and kept the Victory on a tight leash.But a strike by Adam Hughes in the 63th minute could only lessen the blow for United.He turned a sweet header from Lloyd Owusu around the corner and into the back of the net past Glen Moss, who had a busy night in the box as Adelaide attacked with fervour.Dugandzic banged in two goals, one on either side of the break, to send the Reds a message that they would have to battle for a win in front of a rabid Melbourne crowd.He opened the scoring in the 17th minute off the back of an assist from Thai international Sutee Suksomkit, who started for the Victory in his first A-League match.Sutee seemed to have plenty of confidence on the field and was given ample opportunity on the attack as he shared the midfield with Dugandzic.Dugandzic extended Melbourne's lead when he finished from a tidy Carlos Hernandez setup after Matthew Kemp threaded a long ball through the ambling Adelaide defence.The 20-year-old's second goal was almost a nod to the referees, who dealt him a yellow card just minutes earlier for talking back.2Lockyer salivating at Marshall challengePosted October 24, 2009 19:46:00 Opposing numbers and skippers are set to go head-to-head. (Getty Images: Cameron Spencer)The one-on-one battle between Benji Marshall and Darren Lockyer is the one that could decide the war, and it has the Kangaroos' skipper salivating ahead of his side's opening Four Nations clash against New Zealand on Sunday morning (AEDT).While each will need a little help from team-mates, particularly the forwards, whoever comes out on top in this man-on-man match-up at The Stoop in London will put their side within sight of a Four Nations final berth."It's not regular that your opposite number is also the opposition captain, but that's a little challenge out there on the field," Lockyer said."As I start to think more about the game between now and kick-off, they're are one of the little battles that will get the blood flowing."Marshall, too, is eagerly awaiting the showdown."I love challenging myself 。 to get the opportunity to play against the world's best five-eighth in a Test match is something special," he said.While both will be doing their best to unlock the other side's defence, there is little doubt they will also be called upon to do plenty of tackling.And it will not be just any tackling - it is stopping Goliaths like Kiwi backrower Frank Pritchard and rampaging Kangaroos lock Anthony Watmough.Australian backrower Trent Waterhouse has been handed the job of protecting Lockyer, with his main aim keeping Penrith team-mate Pritchard quiet."The challenge is there for Trent to come out on top of his team-mate, and I'm sure Pritchard's thinking the same thing," Kangaroos coach Tim Sheens said."If anyone knows [Pritchard], Trent knows him."It's going to be a good challenge on that side. I said to Trent that if Pritchard gets to Lockyer, then Trent's had a bad game."The match kicks off at 6:00am AEDT Sunday morning.都是最新的其他的在这里：promised.2.Gunfire hits vehicles along a stretch of interstate in Virginia briefly closing the road, injuring two motorists.Traffic is flowing now as police search for those responsible for firing the bullets.3.U.S. diplomats are taking cover in Baghdad, warned to stay inside reinforced structures because of rocket fire from insurgents that killed two government workers.
