Bisrate Gabriel buzzes with excitement as children half dressed in white robes hurry from doorway-to-doorway, golden tassels and red ropes swinging as they go. Church elders pace slowly across open courtyards, looking as wise as they are noble embellished in equally...

The bustling cattle markets once sprawled across Xinjiang are slowly vanishing, the promise of a glistening international future fuelling the rapid consumption of valuable city-limit land. Hordes of bright-yellow gas-guzzling behemoths crawl over sun-bleached...
