The Developing West
China's recent economic campaign to "Develop the West" is taking off in earnest in both Sichuan and Chongqing. Apart from the cascade of cash brought to Western China from the Three Gorges Dam project, local authorities have been priming the pump with tourism and infrastructure improvement. One such plan is the Shanghai to Lhasa Highway that is slated to open sometime in 2008.
