Abstract

The book review discusses "Hong Kong takes flight: Commercial aviation and the making of a global hub, 1930s-1998" by John D. Wong, highlighting the challenges and transformations in Hong Kong's aviation history. It explores the political dynamics, competition between British and American carriers, and the evolution of Cathay Pacific as a symbol of local identity. The study emphasizes the crucial role of government support in Hong Kong's aviation development and economic growth, challenging the notion of laissez-faire principles. While the narrative celebrates Hong Kong's success, it also raises questions about the portrayal of Cathay Pacific and the internal decision-making processes within the airline.

Abstract

CMA CGM, the world's third largest container shipper, ordered six new methanol-powered container ships in June, and Swedish shipper Stena Bulk is building methanol-powered tankers with Swiss chemical company Proman. These "green" forms of methanol still release CO2 when they're burned--but in both cases, it's the same CO2 that had already been sucked out of the atmosphere, either by plants or machines, when the methanol was produced. Despite the current craze, green methanol has a long-term handicap: methanol is a carbon-based fuel, so to make it, we need a lot of carbon. The second is electro-methanol, or e-methanol, created by combining CO2 with hydrogen produced from water using renewable electricity. [Extracted from the article]
