CAFTA now in effect | Manila Bulletin
By CHARISSA M. LUCI China and the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations formally launched Friday the China-ASEAN Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), forming an economic bloc of 1.9 billion people with trade worth around $200 billion. China considers the agreement as a way of securing supplies of raw materials, while member countries in the ASEAN, including the Philippines, see opportunities in China's huge market. Chinese Ambassador to the Philippines Liu Jianchao said under the agreement, more than 7,000 zero-tariff commodities could now be traded among China and the ASEAN countries.

What with the hoopla surrounding the elections in Uttar Pradesh , this year's second-biggest exercise in democracy, and Sachin Tendulkar reaching his one-hundredth hundred , it has been easier than it should have been to overlook the tenth anniversary of the Gujarat riots. In 2002, the state capital, Ahmedabad, and a string of nearby towns witnessed some of the most grotesque communal violence since India's partition, during which more than a 1000 people, the vast majority Muslims, were slaughtered. Hindu mobs, wearing saffron bandanas and brandishing swords, iron bars and trishuls, tore through the streets destroying mosques and setting alight Muslim-owned businesses. Then they murdered their owners and gang-raped women and children.
