Taiwan's President Enterprises bows to pressure, cancels project in China

Article Abstract:

President Enterprises Corp. has shelved plans for $100 million in power plant investments on the mainland in apparent deference to the Taiwanese government's call for a scaleback in China projects. However, many observers believe that the bailout is only a symbolic, politically-motivated decision for the company, whose chairman is a top Kuomintang leader. Some Taiwanese companies do not even want to make a show of obeying the government and they have made no secret of their desire to proceed with their Chinese projects.

Japan shouldn't fear thick-skinned tomatoes

Article Abstract:

The Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries intends to enjoin producers to place special labels on all foods obtained from genetically manipulated organisms. The country's unsystematic and peremptory approach to food labeling creates a tax on regulated products and activities, which generates a powerful disincentive to develop superior products.
