Although the fish out of water tale of the Barsavian group going to Cathay or the Cathayan group going to Barsaive is an appealing quest premise, the land of Cathay and province of Barsaive have so much internal strife going on that few would set out from their home territories without a good reason. Its much more plausible for a Theran group to begin operating in Shan Dei as part of the Theran's campaigns to defeat the warlords plaguing that kingdom to gain the king's trust, as it is for Theran operatives to be working in Barsaive. About the most successful ED campaign that I know of is Tarliman's Bearers of the Helm Campaign that successfully moved from Barsaive to Cathay.

well you could always go their as traders. Spending time working out some kinda trade deal or what not. import/export of sorts one shot trading visit or long term trade runs what ever floats you boat. crystal armor and weapons, T'Skrang spices, True elements and metals seem to be rarer in Cathay than in Barsaive so that could be a decent export to Cathay. Charms and potions seem to be about equal in prices, could be an ingredient common in Barsaive is rare in Cathay and vise verse (or very common in Vasgothia). But this stuff isn't much fun unless Your players want to play that kind of game.
