[@George-k6o9t]

China builds transportation networks to BENEFIT the PEOPLE - not to make ticket sales to benefit the pocketbooks of capitalists - a concept that seems to be beyond the comprehension of Westerners. The profit gained by China is by allowing its people from far-off reaches of the nation to physically get in touch more easily and more economically with the rest of the country not only to foster better relationships to unite the people among the 56 different ethnic groups but also for development and progress. Here in Australia, a huge continent with pockets of people in isolated far-off reaches of the country are often unable to easily get to the cities for medical aid and for advance education. Regional airplane flights are few and for those that are available, costly. The demise of various airlines catering to those far-off communities in recent times shows just how precarious a position those people are living in. Yet, there are no train services , no high speed rail let alone slow trundling old ones because in our Western economies, building such a rail network would be "too expensive for little return" - without considering the human factor. The Chinese Government doesn't look at their railway network the same way. It is seen as a SERVICE to the people and what the people needs, the people gets. Although their rail system does not return a direct profit from ticket sales, the INDIRECT gains and profit are huge in terms of unifying the nation and helping to get communities off their poverty cycle because now they can export their produce to the cities. In looking at an economy especially one that deals in hundreds of billions and trillions and not just millions, one has to consider things in a HOLISTIC all-encompassing much wider point of view - and get away from a village mentality. In other words, "THINK BIG" - which is how President Xi came up with his BRI - Belt and Road Initiative - or "Silk Road 2.0" way back over 10 years ago.

@@mranonymous9034 Thanks. I believe that we all have to think in larger ways when we are considering not only China with 1.4 billion people in a large continental land mass of mountains, valleys and desert regions but also the rest of the world. Far too often, we, in our comfortable relatively small populated small countries, are unable to think in a larger scheme of things. We compare the outside world in small, insular ways and then, extrapolate the small views into the larger world and equating the variables to be the same when they are not applicable. By example, just think of someone managing a small country town grocery store being placed in a city based mega store and think that they can manage the mega store the same way as they have done in their small store in a small country village. It doesn't work.

In Slovakia, we started building our longest car tunnel in 1998. The exploratory tunnel was completed in 2001, but construction was halted for many years. The actual construction phase resumed in 2015. It was initially projected to be finished in 2019, but was postponed once again, and now they say it will open in late 2025. The tunnel is 7.5 km long and consists of two tubes. I can’t quite fathom how quickly the Chinese build their railways in comparison to ours-not to mention that our railroad will never be as fast. The maximum speed is 160 km/h, and that’s only on certain sections of the tracks, but it’s better than nothing. It would be interesting to see how they travel at such heights. If I’m not mistaken, when a plane is flying at an altitude of 12 km, the air pressure is about that of 2.5 km. What about those trains that travel at altitudes almost 5 km high?

Rail travel is more environmentally friendly compared to flying, and moving containers on freight trains is also more efficient than using trucks. The new railway will cause some damage to the landscape and the environment but what are the alternatives? Trucks and airplanes that pollute 10 times more?

[@George-k6o9t]

It depends upon what sort of "environmental damage" you are referring to in the building of railway tracks. In many parts of the countryside where there are animal migratory routes, the Chinese have built viaducts and archways to allow the animals to pass through freely below while the trains run overhead. In the West, where roads are the norm, animals have been often killed trying to cross the roads at night to forage for food. This has been a constant problem for animal lovers and conservationists who see "road-kills" in armadillos (in Texas), koalas, kangaroos, platypuses, etc (in Australia). Is the building of roads and the constant appearance of potholes, cracks, etc that require repairing not damaging the environment and eco-system? Roads in fact, can cause more harm to the landscape and the environment than train tracks that occupy a smaller area of land (have you seen the roads in Los Angeles and Shanghai with their multiple lanes, flyovers and crossovers?) - not to speak of traffic jams where ICE vehicles sit still and not move while pumping out noxious gases into the environment =- one of the causes of the worst air pollution days in places like New York and Los Angeles. In fact, far more people are killed or injured crossing roads than crossing a railroad track (note: this is a tongue-in-cheek statement since more people cross roads than found crossing railways tracks but you get my "drift"). Internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles like cars and trucks that depend upon the burning of gas (petrol), pollutes the air more than a train that runs on electrical wires and electric vehicles that emit no pollution at all. This is one of the main reasons why the air quality in places like Beijing and Shanghai has improved so much in recent times while in places like Mumbai and Kolkata where ICE vehicles choke the streets are pretty bad and a health hazard.

Tibet was gifted to China by the Imperial British with the McMahon line because the British then wanted to halt the Imperial Russian expansion. Now we have the west losing sleep over democracy, cultural identity here, there and every where. What about the native Americans, the native South Africans, the native Austrialians, the native New Zelanders, the natives of South Pacific, etc?

[@fabianyaptortong1885]

Mc Mohan line draw by British stole Tibet land and pass it to India make sure China and India will have borders issue no ending . Luckily China outsmart India which always listen N follow western and USA propaganda to created war and tension on this Tibet India border

[@djmcmenus]

And what about the native Europeans? ☪️ancer is killing us.

[@byan6741]

Gifted by British? Are you kidding me?

[@Chancellor-g9b]

Tibet was a Chinese territory(qing dynasty) before British colonised India

[@IjazAhmed-rd5yp]

It is possible to have both.

[@onosnow6500]

11:00 WTH?? Seriously? Tibet is part of China. What other country business to interfere? You said India is concerned that China can use the railway to deploy security personnel and troops. WTH??? Can you imagine that Mexico is concerned about the US building high-speed trains to New Mexico? Mexico is concerned that the US can deploy its security personnel or troops when there is unrest in New Mexico. WTH? Seriously WTH?

0:06 USD 50B is not staggering at all. We Australia just bought 6 nuclear submarines for USD 268B. Such 851KM railway just cost one submarine, what a bargain, like a steal.

[@qiliu4667]

Can we reduce one of the submarine and built a railway between Sydney and Melbourne?

The United States could do projects like this, but they would rather finance a genocide or fight limitless wars with nothing to show after each one. Each empire that failed had screwed up priorities, unqualified leaders, and enormous waste.

[@HasnaaAlaa]

If there's one government on the planet that i trust to deliver incredible infrastructure while conserving the environment it's the current Chinese leadership for sure

[@kalliste23]

These projects are done for strategic purposes the cost is irrelevant just as the costs of war are irrelevant when considering strategic interests. If something is strategically necessary it must be done whatever the cost so long as it is at all possible.

I think this railline will be made till Kathmandu so when the jaynagar railway line is extended to Kathmandu,we can go to tibet without flight and via train

[@boomerang1125]

The answer is everything is "yes". Environment issues, not a problem given modern technology. Economic benefits to the world, et al. are excellent. More commence, more GDP, more net income per person globally leads to international stability. As the saying goes, "Wars are never fought on a full stomach".

A $50 billion railway in the Himalayas? This sounds like something straight out of a sci-fi movie!

Wow, it must be hard and dangerous work. It remains to be seen if it will survive the elements...

More co2 is an absolute benefit for crop growth and especially in regions like Tibet where the general level is way lower than average. Co2 is the molecule of life and there is only 0.04% of it on average in the atmosphere.

[@rogerstarkey5390]

Co2 alters the Physiology of the plants and makes them less nutritious.

$50 billion is staggering - staggeringly cheap. Says one from the UK, where a railway is being built in rather less challenging terrain over about 230km at a currently projected cost (it keeps rising) of £112 billion. Small correction, BTW: the Channel Tunnel is 50km long, slightly more than the one mentioned in this video.
