At your service: Japanese electronics firms move closer to their customers
Article Abstract:
Taiwan is attracting many of Japan's largest electronics manufacturers for new joint ventures and manufacturing projects thanks to its infrastructure and expertise. The Japanese cite favorable currecny trends, ready Taiwanese currency, and a plethora of US-trained engineers with access to the latest Silicon Valley engineering ideas.

Seeds of despair
Article Abstract:
Farming as a way of life is fast-disappearing from many Northeast Asian countries.

In the near future, as protected rice markets of various countries become more susceptible to ongoing economic changes, many observers believe that farmer support on major ruling parties of several Asian countries may become very limited.
