** FILE ** Chinese Tajik farmers ride a donkey-cart along the Karakorum Highway in China's western Xinjiang province in this Sept. 25, 2001 file photo. Traders from across South and Central Asia flock to once-isolated Urumqi, now a city of 4 million people, in China's northwest corner, 1,450 miles (2,300 kilometers) west of Beijing. They're part of a modern revival of an age-old trading route, one that is fast expanding China's growing regional influence with countries like Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. China's commerce with neighbors is just a tiny component of its overall foreign trade. But that commerce is growing fast as the country resurrects a modern-day Silk Road powered by mobile telephones and air travel. (AP Photo/Greg Baker, File)
