Shanghai Airlines Orders Boeing 757-200s in partial repayment for snubbing the Taiwanese Vice President Annette Lu, no doubt.

Speaking of her, in Taiwan's Vice President Dismisses Polls, by WILLIAM FOREMAN, she "told The Associated Press in an interview that President Chen Shui-bian will be re-elected because the island's economy is recovering." I wonder if she agrees with the PRC that Hong Kong's opposition to article 23 would die down once the economy there improves.
