Hong Kong Port, China, 1998

"Lit up like a show window, a port displays goods risk-taking entrepreneurs sell the world at huge profits. Renewed boom times in the South China Sea will require regional cooperation as much as cutthroat competition."

—From "Crossroads of Asia: South China Sea," December 1998, National Geographic magazine
