COVER STORY
Between 1941 and 1945, over 2,000 American pilots and support staff arrived in China as part of the Pacific theater of World War II. The shark-faced fighter planes they flew were regarded by local Chinese as fierce “Fei Hu,” or Flying Tigers. These young American pilots fought alongside their Chinese comrades against the Japanese. Some paid the ultimate sacrifice, or went missing into the skies over China.
     Due to political reasons, the Flying Tigers’ story had been buried in China for several decades. It was not until recently that their contributions to history gained notice, and efforts to preserve Flying Tigers historical sites and relics have begun.
     As more monuments and museums are being erected to commemorate the Flying Tigers, the legend is experiencing a revival. And now that a Flying Tigers theme park is under construction, the legend is becoming so popular that it is moving beyond the history books and into contemporary entertainment....

  • At the end of 2008, the DPRK launched its 3G mobile service. Although development of a telecommunications infrastructure has been sluggish in the DPRK, the introduction of the latest communications technology reflects the subtle but slow changes taking place in this isolated society.
  • Far from being representative of a consensus view, the opinions expressed in the controversial book “Unhappy China” are just one of many, often opposing views, currently being debated throughout China. This particular view, however, has been somewhat magnified by an overzealous media, which inevitably has led to a certain degree of misinterpretation.
