China Is Building The World's Most Dangerous Railway In The Himalayas

The Trans-Himalayan Railway is a $5 billion mega project that plans to link China and Nepal through one of the world's most dangerous and longest railway routes. The Trans-Himalayan Railway is meant to support infrastructure, trade and transport between both countries, today we look at the insane engineering behind this mega project.

They'll build this quicker and cheaper than UK builds the countryside sections of its HS2 line

Do you actually know 'anything' about China's HSR, like massive debt, cheap labor, build quality, and corruption? No, guessed not.

[@Jgvcfguy]

@@LoremIpsum1970 Apparently you don't. China keeps costs down by using economies of scale. They built tens of thousands of HSR in a few years using standardized designs and construction techniques.

[@LoremIpsum1970]

@@Jgvcfguy LOL. Seeing their HSR is hundreds of billions in debt...that didn't go very well. "hundreds of thousands of HSR" 🤣🤡you need to get a grip of reality and English. You obviously don't understand how Chinese construction is financed, levels of corruption and constantly subcontracted until there's little finance for materials and pay. The same has happened on the city metro schemes and in other sectors. You really need to research what the Chinese people are saying, not the CCP. What you see in China is a facade, it's what they want you to see and believe...

Now, it is certain the train from China will arrive in Nepal ushering in an era of peace and prosperity. Besides, Chinese trains are technologically modern and will be more dependable and efficient. I personally am looking forward to be one of the first passengers when the train finally arrives

as an Indian I would say to my Nepali brothers to trust China more than Western oriented India

India has learned nothing useful from its colonial past. Instead he bullies and invades his neighbors like his former colonizers.

[@mrblurblur2003]

So glad to see Nepal break away from the shackles of India. From then on Nepal will benefit from it's friendship with China and the use of it's China ports ports. It's a long time waiting for this to happen. Good luck and prosperity Nepal.

[@aniket1638]

😂😂😂😂you still think that china is a reliable partner , look at situation of all the countries which were part of bri The products you will get from china will be expensive coz of your location And Mark my words this project will never happen , because china's economy is in bad shape

[@RobIfe]

China means progress to all.

[@stephentan7881]

So long as they work at it, they will succeed ultimately.

[@vegamoonlight]

They build railways for the benefit of their people. Having those railways and stations can bring more convenience to commerce and trade especially for small merchants in rural areas. In the long term, it will bring more economic benefits. Hence, the Chinese really see and experience the fruits of the taxes they paid to their local and national governments. Unlike in the West where their taxes are used to kill people in Ukraine, Gaza and the countries they occupy.

[@michelle47]

I think china offered to build HS2 what a shame they didn’t as it would have been completely finished now at half the cost

[@user-ed9so2rb4k]

There is no doubt that both countries will gain from this rail connection though other factors regarding security will always cause neighboring partners to want to derail it. Nepal can surely gain through this connectivity to the rest of the Eurasian nations, though at the initial stage, Nepal may just gain from tourism because of this convenience. This a long could justify it?

[@sher_singh7273]

Unfortunate for Nepal to have corrupt politicians, who are controlled by Indian and western bureaucrats and take order from them. So, Nepal can never take the benefits of BRI.

[@yomyomus]

abbay saloo dhakkan China built you a international airport.... how many airplane landed? none.... people like you are control by Chinese CCP with few rupee..... people of Nepal will only benefit if they deal with India only... this CCP will eat people like you without salt and throw away when done DHKHHAN... you don't have enough money to run a good public bus services thinking about train running.... did you know Nepal do have one train service but now its dead because lake of funds..... what nepal need is a good independent law like USA.... independent police.. n so many more

[@liquidswordfish]

India oppose the train yet they themselves never help building train from delhi to ktm. Indian fear rapid chinese movement in war if road and rail wore to be build in nepal and himaliyan region. This is the reason why not just nepal but their hamalayan state near to china are backwards to this days. They even have national level policies not to build road on china side but now things has been changing. Having connection to china through is benefical for nepal and nepal, so called debt trap is western made words and indian use almost day and night taking about it 😂😂.

[@aniket1638]

You think Chinese debt trap is a myth but look at the economic conditions of countries which are part of bri eg - Pakistan, shrilanka , many African nations

[@EkantBhairab]

@@aniket1638 you are dead wrong about China dept trap down falling of these countries, the reality is it's the western finance institutions that have driven these countries to fall back. Perhaps you know it but love to jump on to western bandwagon of propaganda.

Super good news for nepal

[@dieppeboon9627]

This is not a High Speed train...but a electric train travelling at 120 km per hour

[@EkantBhairab]

It's enough for Nepal

[@EkantBhairab]

The reason behind Nepal's hesitant attitude towards this railway connectivity is nothing more than 'dept trap' dissuasion by western countries and india who never wanted Nepal to be connected with China and to reap immense economic opportunities and benefits that will full fledgedly make the country in a position where it can pay back its debt to China. Nepalese politicians and bureaucrats easily fall into prey by western and indian dissuasion for their collosal corrupt and poor sighted nature prioritising their individual gains before national interests and the western INGOs and indian agents are ever active in Nepal to get their job done, no wonder why a poor country's bureaucrats and politicians are so rich.

[@liongjiahwong5478]

Again Debt Trap.. Ukraine is a debt trap.. EU, UK and America supply outdated weapons for premium price payment. They hope Russia will lose the war and pay war compensation to Ukraine.

Ship difficulty.

[@Tony-.]

I think military reason are more Obvious. Higher in the region are the sources of the main rivers for China and India and therefore the region is extremely important for both countries. China fundamentally conducts its trade route bypassing India through Pakistan, so there is no hope for the unification of the two countries.

Imagine ripping off the B1M’s style this hard

[@chrisdooley1184]

I just thought the same thing actually. It’s just so blatant too. That being said I would trust riding on a train through the Himalayan mountains that Chins built! They can’t even make a house properly ffs

[@walker1054]

But this project doesn't have a video on the B1M and it's just a small mention in 1 of their rail videos without any of the background that this video provides. This project has had videos dedicated to it on dozens of other channels already too. There's countless infrasructure channels on here too, most of them have been around longer than the B1M, so I guess B1M is the rip off? Either way it's rediculous to suggest that only 1 channel can make videos about large infrastructure projects. Stop simping so hard for a for profit company

[@mukeshKumar-pw2oc]

Sorry but India is building the most extreme railway line in Kashmir region already it is operational and another plan is already going under to be construction next year which is going to be built on height of 4000 m and also India has already built railway line in Nepal already So people complaining that Nepal shoul go for china should think once again also recently there's been investigation about the newly build Chinese airport cause it has very bad quality and so I don't think Nepal is going for china😅

Nepal has the wisdom they will connect with the country that is China which it knows will help its country to progress and stability in all aspects

[@HTeo-og1lg]

China is the very definition of an infrastructure maniac. The Qinghai-Golmut to Tibet-Lhasa railway line goes through permafrost terrain which is subjected to freezing and thawing(or melting) yearly cycle, and the problem of subsidence of the grounds on which the railway track is laid. you can view the way they solve this problem after 10 years of studying how to overcome the problem. Even the Russian engineers had said that it is impossible to overcome, unlike Siberia where the grounds do not subside due to the small seasonal changes in Siberia. The Chinese drill deep into the subsoil and install permanent cooling-rods into the grounds to curate the temperature on a permanent basis. You can view a video on how the solution were found by the Chinese engineers after more than 10 years of R&D.
