| Abstract | In early 1997, China and Taiwan governments agreed to let vessels with foreign flags sail between Kaohsiung, Taiwan's main port, and the mainland cities of Fuzhou and Xiamen. From March to April 1997, the ships will be allowed to carry cargo being transshipped through Kaohsiung. In early February 1997, 14 companies have applied to offer the service. More than any impact on shipping profits, it is better China relations that is the agreement's biggest boost to Taipei's market. |
