South Korea, Japan grapple with heavy snow; Chaos, delay at airports

Thousands of travelers swarmed a small airport in South Korea's Jeju island on Wednesday in a scramble to get on flights following delays by snowstorms as frigid winter weather gripped East Asia for the second straight day. Officials at South Korea's Ministry of the Interior and Safety didn't immediately report any major damage or injuries from subzero temperatures and icy conditions that have affected most of the country since Tuesday.

He trusts that with the number of flights from China steadily increasing, it's only a matter of time. If a lot of them can return, it will be great as they have buying power, Chanatip said. The expected resumption of group tours from China is likely to bring far more visitors. For now, it's only individual travellers who can afford to pay, with flights costing more than triple what they normally do, who are venturing ...

DGPs meet: China wants to reduce India's influence in Indian Ocean region

Chinese activities and influence in India's extended neighbourhood have grown increasingly with the sole purpose of keeping New Delhi constrained and occupied in facing the resultant challenges, according to papers submitted at a key security meet here.
