In Himalayas, There's a Way But Not a Will for China-India Trade

A mountain stands shrouded in fog at Tsongmo Lake near to the Nathula Pass, an open trading post in the Himalayas between India and China, in Sikkim, India, on Wednesday, May 4, 2016. The Nathula Pass, once part of the ancient Silk Road and later sealed after a 1962 war, was reopened in 2006 as a symbol of improved relations between Asian neighbors that account for more than a third of the world's population. A decade later, however, it perhaps better reflects a trust deficit: the pass even does not account for one percent of overall bilateral commerce.
