A short train ride from the checkpoints connects visitors to regional hubs like Kulai.\n\nA Hong Kong court has convicted Dow Jones, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, of attempting to block a reporter from becoming the head of a press union. The court found that Dow Jones had required journalist Selina Cheng to obtain permission to run for the chairpersonship of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, which the company would have denied. According to Dow Jones, they disagreed with the ruling and were evaluating next steps.",
