1.When I was going home to India last year,I called up my mother to ask if she wanted anything from China.
When India had not opened up its markets to the world,I carried suitcase full of dark glasses and jeans.Thankfully,we can get all these anywhere in India now.
As long as I can remember,she didn't even drink India tea.
I dutifully bought a big packet of Longjing and headed home to hear the story.My mother and her brother,both regular newspaper readers,believed that Chinese green tea was the wonder drug for all illness.
At the turn of the century,China was not really familiar to the average Indian.It was a strange country.
How things change!And how soon!
Now every town of any size seems to have a"China Market".And everyone is talking about China.
The government of India has planned to send a team to China to see how things are done.A minister once said that India must open the doors for more foreign investment and such a step would"work wonders as it did for China".
But it's a two-way street.I just heard about a thousand Shenzhen office workers who have gone to Bangalore to train in software.Meanwhile,all the India IT majors are setting up a strong presence in China.
No wonder that trade,which was only in the millions just ten years ago,is expected to hit about US 15billion for last year and US20 billion by 2008,a goal set by both government.
No wonder,my colleague wrote some weeks ago about this being the Sino-Indian century as the two countries started on January 1 the Sino-Indian Friendship Year.
But what is still wonder to me is my mother drinking Chinese tea.

分析 本篇文章描寫了印度向中國打開貿易大門前后的情形的對比--之前,印度的人們對中國的了解甚少,甚至以為中國的綠茶能夠治療任何疾。畬τ《热硕,中國是一個神奇的國度.而在敞開了貿易大門之后,印度發(fā)生了很大的變化,幾乎每個城鎮(zhèn)都能看到中國的商場.中印雙方都派遣人員進行實地考察和交流.作者最后寫道:我的媽媽也開始喝起了中國茶.
