Hostility put aside, India and China reopen Silk Road
By Y. P. Rajesh

Nathu La, China-India Border (Reuters) - Asian giants
India and China opened a Himalayan border pass to trade
on Thursday, 44 years after a brutal war shut the ancient
Silk Road route.
Traders, soldiers, politicians and bureaucrats from the
two sides braved a freezing drizzle, mist and altitude
sickness at 14,200 feet to mark what analysts said was a
new chapter in bilateral ties.
Businessmen lined up on soggy red carpets, waving their
trade licenses that would allow them to cross the border
post at Nathu La pass -- "the pass of the listening ear"
-- to visit newly built markets on either side after the
formal opening ceremony.
Indian and Chinese soldiers posed for pictures and videos
under colorful arches while locals, many dressed in
traditional costumes, shared bread and sweets as music
blared.
"Today is a historic day," said Pawan Chamling, chief
minister of India's Sikkim state, connected by the pass
to Tibet.
"A contact that started centuries back between our two
civilizations is being re-established today. The formal
re-opening of this trade route will be a win-win
situation for both countries."
Businessmen are keen to take advantage of the new
opportunities opening the pass will create in the remote
area.
"I am excited. How can I not be, considering this is
international trade," said Dhurba Sharma, a cosmetics
businessman from Sikkim.
"Although the list of goods that can be traded is
restricted, I want to see how good their leather is.
Ties between India and China, the two most populous
nations, were dogged by mutual suspicion for almost three
decades after a border war in 1962, until surging trade
and economic ties pushed political disputes into the
backseat.
DEVELOP INFRASTRUCTURE, LIFT RESTRICTIONS
The reopening of the pass, part of the historic Silk Road
-- a network of trails that connected ancient China with
India, Western Asia and Europe -- occurred on the
birthday of the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan and Buddhist
leader in exile in India.
It came days after Beijing linked the Tibetan capital of
Lhasa with a railway and is seen as another move by China
to help modernize the long-isolated region.
"This is a major event for the China-India relationship,"
Sun Yuxi, Beijing's envoy to New Delhi, told Reuters.
"Nathu La border trade markets will not only benefit
border inhabitants in both countries and promote local
openness and development, but also further motivate and
open up a new channel for the blooming China-India trade
relations."
Although the two countries have agreed to resolve their
border rows politically, talks have made slow progress
and much of their 3,500-km (2,200-mile) frontier remains
disputed.
Trade, on the other hand, has soared, to $18.7 billion in
2005, a 37.5 percent jump over the previous year. This
year, it is expected to reach $22-23 billion.
Nathu La is the third border trading point opened by
India and China but is the most important because it
controlled almost 80 percent of their trade before it
closed in 1962.
Today, border exchanges account for a paltry $100 million
of the total trade, with the rest going by sea or air.
But smuggling is about 10 times the official trade,
mostly through the Himalayan region of Ladakh in Indian
Kashmir, experts say.
Official trade could touch $3 billion by 2015 through
Nathu La alone if the two countries build good roads,
develop infrastructure and lift restrictions on goods
that can be traded through the route, they said.
Some analysts feel closer economic bonding would also
eventually help the two leave the border row behind.
"We have to get our act together fast," an Indian foreign
ministry official said. "There is a huge demand for lots
of items in Tibet and we are closer to them than Beijing.
This region can prosper if we can take advantage of the
demand."

China could easily have taken all of India in a month or two; it won
that
little shoving match with ease back in 1962, 1,2,3, bop!
China is now lulling India into a false sense of security; next time
it's
gonna be a lot more than a shoving match.
Live it and love it.

It's no wonder that more and more items made in Banglaland
are showing up in Cheen's retail front Wal-Mart.
