The Asia Brief - Sept. 17, 2014

Submitted by on

Welcome to The Asia Brief for Wednesday, September 17, 2014. Typhoon Kalmaegi battered Hong Kong and Hainan, forcing evacuations and disrupting businesses. The storm continued over China today. As hong Kong continues to fight for universal suffrage, Macau is beginning to take up a similar position. A trade agreement between mainland China and Taiwan is still stalled, as many oppose the measure; however, some feel South Korea’s trade talks with Beijing could push things forward. Finally, the Philippines’ Mayon volcano is showing signs it may erupt soon. As a precautionary measure, nearby residents have been evacuated.
