Thanks, Anna; I hadn't read that thread (or many others lately--my babies came home from college this weekend!).
As to the mention in the article, I took it as a parallel to the importance of a link between Europe and Asia, quite possibly the recently-opened Orient Express. Though I'll never know--I can hardly ask the writer!
Oh, and according to one piece I read, the Chinese laborers immigrated; they were not "imported".
