FirstpostLhasa: China’s new infrastructural plan of constructing 4,000 kilometres of railway lines by 2025 and building 59 new airports and 300 helipads by 2035 will crisscross Tibet Autonomous Region is ‘dual-use’ in nature as it will help the country to enable the rapid deployment of its forces and will fulfil Beijing’s strategy of cultural assimilation of Tibet, Tibet Right Collective reported. China came up with the plan to build a railway network of 5,000 km or more, including 1,000 km of double-track railway lines in TAR by 2035 under its 14th Five-Year Plan, reported Tibet Right Collective. According to the report, the TAR also intends to build an international railway corridor to South Asia in order to open the international railway channel between China and South Asian countries. Major new railway lines scheduled to open by 2025 include the section between Ya’an in Sichuan Province and Nyingtri city in TAR of the Sichuan-Tibet Railway, the section between Shigatse and Pelku Lake in TAR of the Xinjiang-Tibet Railway, and the section and County to Ranwu Lake of the Yunnan-Tibet Railway, as per the report in Tibet Right Collective.
