Nothing ancient for chinese in this new trade of jade:

Quote:
“Jade has no meaning for our culture, but we are thankful to Allah that the Chinese go crazy for it,” said Yacen Ahmat, a Uighur trader who spends seven days a week working the crowds at Khotan’s jade bazaar, a frenetic marketplace dominated by prospectors trying to unload their catch on savvy wholesalers — or hapless tourists who often return home with overpriced rocks.

The fusion of East and West? Chinese now the "foreigners" buying what they consider a precious native stone. Element of phone-cards in HK c. 96?
