Good morning, all. This looks like very good news:
China, Taiwan sign trade pact linking economies

Beijing hopes the deal, signed live on on state television, can lead to political accommodation. Taiwan is looking for the tighter economic links to keep the island from being marginalized as China’s global clout grows.
