"Plying the waters of prosperity, ships in Hong Kong crowd one of the world's busiest harbors, a bridge between China and the international economy. Along the gilded rim of the South China Sea, trade has built cities and fortunes. But dense populations and industry tax the region's environment, and overlapping claims to ocean riches threaten its peace."
—From "South China Sea: Crossroads of Asia," December 1998, National Geographic magazine
