Taiwanese Carriers to Resume Direct Korea Flights
Taiwan's airlines will resume direct flights to Korea in March to reciprocate a similar move by Korea's carriers. China Airlines, Evergreen Air, Far Eastern Air and Uni Air will operate Taiwan-Korea direct flights from March 1, after Korean Air and Asiana Airlines resumed direct flights last December, 12 years after the service was discontinued in 1992, when the two nations severed diplomatic relations.

World population to hit 9 billion
The world's population will surge from 6.5billion to more than 9 billion by 2050, the UN has predicted, with almost all the growth in developing countries. Although birth rates in the developed world are low and declining, the population in the 50 least developed nations is expected to double, leading to 9.1billion people on the planet. Fertility rates in most developed nations have been declining and 51 nations, including Germany, Italy, Japan and the former Soviet Union, will have fewer people than in 2005.

世界人口將達90億
聯合國預測，世界人口到2050年將會從65億激增至90億人，幾乎所有開發中國家的人口都會增加。雖然已開發國家的出生率很低，一直在下降，但是50個未開發國家人口預計會成長兩倍，使全球人口達91億。已開發國家的出生率一直在下降，以後德國、義大利、日本和前蘇聯等51個國家人口會比2005年還要少。
