		<description><![CDATA[When China destroyed one of its own satellites in space six years ago, it alarmed many other Asia-Pacific countries that have invested heavily in orbiting satellites for telecommunications, Earth observation and scientific research. China&#8217;s action caused particular concern in the United States, Japan, Australia, India and other nations that use satellites for defense purposes that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[China recently opened its domestic satellite navigation network to commercial use across the Asia-Pacific region. The move underscored China&#8217;s emergence as an independent space power challenging the primacy of the United States, Russia, Europe and Japan. The network offers a still-to-be-proven alternative in the region to the well-established and highly accurate U.S. global positioning system [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The entrenched notion that the world will soon start running short of oil was jolted earlier this year when an expert study concluded that, contrary to what most people believe, oil-supply capacity is expanding so fast that it will outpace consumption by a wide margin in the next few years.

		<description><![CDATA[North American natural gas companies, in the midst of tapping vast new reserves from underground shale rock, are looking to energy-hungry Asia as the main future market for the cleanest burning fossil fuel. But even as a study commissioned by the U.S. government and published recently concluded that shipping some of the abundant U.S. shale [...]]]></description>
