Tyndall Report is certainly looking forward to future episodes in the series Terry McCarthy kicked off from China on CBS to coincide with Barack Obama's visit to the Great Wall. It is called Traveling the Silk Road and it sets out to follow the ancient trade route from Xian through central Asia to the Mediterranean. McCarthy showed us the western end of the Great Wall where the road leaves China and enters barbarian territory. He showed us the raisin harvest in Turpan and the ethnic melting pot that is Kashgar. "Historically China has prospered when it has been most open," McCarthy generalized. "The era of the Silk Road is still remembered in China as a time of growing wealth, flourishing culture, religious freedom and largely peaceful borders."
