We not only welcome this watershed moment as an opportunity to begin a new chapter in our relationships with governments, but we believe the leadership shown by the EU is an example to the world. When the first Airbnb guests stepped into our San Francisco apartment in 2008, Brian, Joe and I could never have imagined how that experience would blossom into the global community we see today. Fast-forward 1.5 billion guest arrivals, $180 billion earned by hosts, $9 billion paid to authorities in tourism taxes and Airbnb today counts more than 7 million listings in more than 220 countries and regions globally. We are proud of our work with policymakers to help local families share their homes, follow the rules and pay tax.And while the company began in San Francisco, today we see more Airbnb hosts in t...

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The Philippine military chief said Monday he was with Filipino forces aboard a supply boat when it was blasted with a water cannon and surrounded and bumped by Chinese coast guard ships over the weekend in the disputed South China Sea.Gen.
