China to construct Xinjiang-Tibet rail line that will pass through Aksai Chin, LAC near Arunachal Pradesh
Months after a dissolution of India-China in the cold relations of Beijing announced its plan to build the Sincan-Tibet railway line, which would pass through Aksai Chin and run near Lac near Arunaçhal Pradesh. The details are here.
In a development that may have extensive consequences in the geopolitical and security scenario in Asia, China will begin the construction of the 2,000 km railway line connecting Hotan in Sincan and Lhasa in Tibet. The recommended railway line Kunlun, Karakoram, Kailash and Himalaya will pass the mountain rows at an average height of more than 4,500 meters. This is also important because the railway line is also important because it will pass through Alani Chin, which was initially belonging to India but caught by China in the 1962 war. The proposed railway line will pass through the actual control line (LAC) dividing the two countries.
Xinjiang-Tibet Railway
According to South China Morning Post, the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway Company (XTRC) was officially recorded with a capital of $ 13.2 billion. It belongs to the Chinese state railway group. The recommended railway connection will be a difficulty for human effort, as the temperature will go through the most enemy land where the temperature may be low to -40 degrees Celsius. However, it will be one of the four lines planned to connect Tibet to the rest of the country. Other lines will connect the western region to Qinghai, Sichuan and Yunnan. Previously China has spent $ 45 billion to build 1,800 km Sichuan-Tibet railway. The main objective is to establish a 5,000 km of plateau railway network based on Lhasa until 2035.
Will the Tibetan railway affect India-China ties?
Analysts are amazed in the announcement of the project that emerged at a time when India and China once again normalized relations after entering the Chinese army into India regions in 2020 and taking a major role. It is certain that India will be disturbed by the project that will pass through Aksai Chin. The railway line will also be upset that it passes through Lac. Previously, Beijing began to build the world’s largest dam on the Brahmaputra River in the Brahmaputra River in the fragile Tibet, close to Arunachal Pradesh.
