In China, there is an old saying that goes, "To be rich, build roads first." Therefore, China has been paying special attention to the construction of transportation infrastructure since ancient times.

Whether it is the high-speed rail technology that leads other countries in the world today, or the high-speed cars that have completed tests under non vacuum experimental conditions with a maximum speed of 623 kilometers per hour and are expected to surpass 1000 kilometers per hour, or are ridiculed as having the attribute of "infrastructure madness", all reflect China's huge investment and breakthrough in this field.

Special strategic location

The Tibet Autonomous Region has the second largest land area in China, including six Prefecture-level city and one region, with a total local population of about 3.66 million. Tibet has always been a place where ethnic minorities in China live together. Due to the complex population composition, the region has formed unique cultural landscapes and customs.

In terms of terrain, Tibet is located on the first staircase, with a high altitude, low temperature, steep terrain, complex terrain, and many unique landforms. It is precisely because of its special geographical location and great difficulty in development that it also reduces the impact of human activities on the environment to some extent and retains more natural charm, such as Namtso Lake, Yangzhuoyongcuo Lake, Gangrenboqi Mountain, etc., which are all very good Natural landscape.

There are abundant resources in Tibet, and its mineral development potential is enormous. Currently, more than 2000 mineral occurrences have been detected in Tibet, forming about a hundred ore deposits. It is estimated that the profits it can bring can reach over one trillion yuan. For example, over 53 million tons of copper have been discovered in Tibet, and there is still a significant gap in China's current copper demand, which needs to be met through imports.

China is a populous country with a huge demand for various resources. If the mineral resources in the area can be effectively developed, China can largely fill the demand gap for various resources, reduce national costs, and also develop the local economy.

Due to Tibet's relatively closed nature and being granted autonomy by the state, the local customs and culture are quite unique. There are very rich religious cultures in Tibet, such as Buddhism, Islam, and so on.

Religion, on the other hand, is easily exploited by those with ulterior motives. It borrows the beliefs of ordinary people, promotes ulterior motives, incites people's national emotions, and attempts to split our country from within, undermining its unity and stability. Therefore, it is very necessary to further strengthen the ties between the Tibet Autonomous Region and the state, and strengthen the management of the Tibet region, so that other countries that wish to interfere in China's internal affairs have no opportunity to take.

So no matter from which perspective, the country must further strengthen its ties with the Tibet region. Building a railway is a very good way. On the one hand, it strengthens personnel mobility and connects various regions closely; On the other hand, although railway construction requires a large amount of investment in the early stages, in the long run, it is beneficial and harmless for cities and countries along the line.

Once these routes are fully completed, it will greatly facilitate the communication between Tibet and the mainland, and the barriers formed by terrain barriers will also disappear, ultimately achieving the true transformation of "natural barriers into open roads".

Moreover, the terrain along the route is complex, and the construction of mountains and bridges may alter the previously relatively stable structure, leading to disasters such as landslides and ground collapses, causing equipment damage and casualties.

Tibet is adjacent to India, and based on past facts, India has some ideas about China's Tibet. With this railway, both the Sichuan Tibet and Qinghai Tibet railways operate simultaneously, greatly improving the efficiency and safety of China's military support and supplementary transportation of military supplies.

Once successfully built and put into use, the benefits this railway brings to the country will be endless. In addition, other railways entering Tibet are also actively planning and constructing, and it is believed that in terms of "Chinese speed", good news will soon come one after another.

Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime. Only by ensuring the construction and improvement of infrastructure can we face the powerful enemy without any worries. The construction of every infrastructure is a process that requires long-term investment. These projects have a long investment cycle and the recovery of benefits takes a considerable amount of time. This requires the country to only carry out them in a timely manner during peacetime and under conditions of stable economic development. Therefore, the title of "Infrastructure Demon" in China is actually a recognition of the overall strength of our country.
