The York Railway (reporting mark YRC) is a shortline railroad operating 42 miles (68 km) of track in and near York, Pennsylvania. The company was created in 1999 through a consolidation of Yorkrail, Inc. (reporting mark YKR) and the Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad (M&P), both owned by the Emons Railroad Group, and it immediately sold the property thus acquired to limited liability lessor subsidiaries with the same names (Yorkrail, LLC and Maryland and Pennsylvania Railroad Company, LLC). Genesee & Wyoming Inc. gained control of the company, and the other Emons properties, in 2002.

The York Railway operates two parallel main lines, extending southwest from York to CSX Transportation interchanges. Most of the M&P's original line from York to Baltimore has been abandoned, but a short piece in York is still operated. The M&P's current main line is an ex-Pennsylvania Railroad line it acquired from the Penn Central Transportation Company in 1976, beginning at a connection with the Norfolk Southern Railway in York and running to a CSX connection at Hanover. The Yorkrail line, running from a junction with the M&P in York to a CSX connection at Porters Sideling, PA, was opened in 1893 by the Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway (Eastern Extension), a predecessor of the Western Maryland Railway, and sold by CSX Transportation to Yorkrail in 1989.

The York Railway owns three ex-Santa Fe CF7 diesels: #1500 (the last such locomotive built), 1502 and 1504 that were usually operated as a pair, and alternated to equalize operating hours. The railroad also operates ex-CSX EMD GP16 diesels #1600, 1602, 1604 and 1606 as well as a pair of LTEX GP15-1s numbered 1414 and 1444. The 1502 and 1504 were parked for several years in a deadline between Hokes Mill Road (Route 182) and South Sumner Street in York, PA, along with GP9 1754. In early February 2018, the railway removed a traction motor from No. 1504 and put it in No. 1606. On January 30, 2021, scrapping began on No.s 1502, 1504 and 1754, the three inoperative locomotives.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP AR-sep) is a free trade agreement among the Asia-Pacific nations of Australia, Brunei, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. The 15 member countries account for about 30% of the world's population (2.2 billion people) and 30% of global GDP ($26.2 trillion) as of 2020, making it the biggest trade bloc in history. Unifying the preexisting bilateral agreements between the 10-member ASEAN and five of its major trade partners, the RCEP was signed on 15 November 2020 at a virtual ASEAN Summit hosted by Vietnam, and will take effect 60 days after it has been ratified by at least six ASEAN and three non-ASEAN signatories.

The trade pact, which includes a mix of high-income, middle-income, and low-income countries, was conceived at the 2011 ASEAN Summit in Bali, Indonesia, while its negotiations were formally launched during the 2012 ASEAN Summit in Cambodia. It is expected to eliminate about 90% of the tariffs on imports between its signatories within 20 years of coming into force, and establish common rules for e-commerce, trade, and intellectual property. The unified rules of origin will help facilitate international supply chains and reduce export costs throughout the bloc.

The RCEP is the first free trade agreement among China, Japan, and South Korea, three of the four largest economies in Asia. Several analysts predicted that it would offer significant economic gains for signatory nations, as well as "pull the economic centre of gravity back towards Asia, with China poised to take the lead in writing trade rules for the region", leaving the U.S. behind in economic and political affairs. Reactions from others were neutral or negative, with some analysts saying that the economic gains from the trade deal would be modest. The RCEP has been criticized for ignoring labor, human rights, and environmental sustainability issues.
