The Air Up Thair

Taiwan and China sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G. The big news this week has been an opening of direct air travel from Taiwan to China and vice versa. (Before, folks so inclined, had to fly into China via a third country, or failing that, Hong Kong) Not such big news last week was that China Airlines was to cut its long-haul routes by 10%. If we were serious bloggers (we're not, duh) we'd suggest that these two news stories are related.
