China retaliates: Approves railway line in Tibet to come close to Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Beijing: China has approved construction of high altitude railway line to come close to the Indian border in Arunachal Pradesh. According to official Xinhua news agency, China has approved the feasibility report for the construction of the railway linking Lhasa to Nyingchi in Tibet.


In August this year, China inaugurated its extension of railway line in Tibet which come close to the Indian border in Sikkim besides borders of Nepal and Bhutan.

Friday's official announcement about the construction of the new rail line came in the backdrop of India's plans to improve the road network along the border regions of Arunachal Pradesh, which China claims as Southern Tibet.

Reacting to India's plans to build 54 more border posts The Chinese military spokesman Yang Yujun said on Thursday that India should shun moves that "may further complicate the situation" and do more to maintain peace in that area.

China and India have disputes over the eastern part of their border.

The new railway will be the second rail link to be built in Tibet after the Qinghai-Tibet Railway connecting Xining in neighbouring Qinghai province with Tibet's provincial capital Lhasa which became operational in 2006.

The plans were to construct linking Lhasa to Nyingchi in the east was announced in August. Nyingchi is located right on top of Arunachal, the nearest area to the borders.

The 253-km railway line costing about $2.16 billion linked Tibet's provincial capital Lhasa with Xigaze, the second-largest city in the Himalayan region.

The railway expansion in Tibet will connect Nepal, Bhutan and India by 2020, official report.

Doesn't really matter. India should continue with its road projects in arunachal pradesh. Battery of brahmos will take care of Chinese railway lines.

Thats good job they rather make Our Task more EASy

Meh, won't help much for them. Its expensive and maintiance heavy. Its a lose for them, not us. They don't have any other option besides this. Helecopter releif are burden by altitude hence the payload gets slashed, even if they are taking off from Lhasa. They have no aircraft AFAIK that can land with heavy payload like the An-32 or Hercules. And to top it all off, there aren't a lot of airbases to help with forward deployment, hence they rely heavily on roads.
Bombing those roads, train tracks will not hinder them much, as they can fix them pretty quick, but the bridges are another story.
The problem, for India is short range BM that are stationed north of sikkim and can target Delhi, however if this happens, Parliament will be unanimous in dealing with China. The BM is the only advantage China has with the border, and a threat for us. We may need to fight a war for 2 reason.
1) the Chinese like in 1962, decide to use the border clash with INdia to take there people down spinalley during domestic distrubance. It is worth noting that the PAP has almost the same budget as the PLA and even more training!
2) Water, any water abruption will lead to war, and unlike with PAK whom we have a water treaty with, with China we have none. If they stop the water, and keep it for themselves by diverting it, we have to go to WAR no questions. When you stop the river, its an automatic declaration of war. Bangladesh too depends on the same river.

War? India will never go to war. India needs to invest in many Water Desalination plants and research. Clean Indian program is more of a security issue than image issue. Unfortunately, Indians simply don;t realize that yet. We have the largest coastlines in the world. Make proper use of it.



When China leaped to take over Tibet, the British warned us. Its a no brainer, the Chinese were thinking far ahead. Tell me what was CONGRESS THINKING? Nehru, Sonia, Indira, Rahul, Rajiv, are all a bunch of idiots who did absolutely nothing!

 

[asquare]

In general, these are good developments. They'll solidify each sides claims either side of the LAC and thereby force a status quo-ist solution.

 

[janon]

So there is a construction race there, instead of an arms race? That can only be good. I hope more tit for tat infrastructure development takes place. While we are at it, how about linking the railway systems of both countries at the border?

Doesn't really matter. India should continue with its road projects in arunachal pradesh. Battery of brahmos will take care of Chinese railway lines.

Brahmos?? are you threatening our railways now?? what'z matter can keep us with the race?

But India is not complaining or issuing warnings or whining!! We believe in status-quo!!

Sorry for point #2 is none of Indian business, Water is within our territory, we can do what ever we want, you can cry, whine or complain, we just dont give rat a$$.

Let them build whatever they want. Not our money. For us railway line in AP is a necessity. For them it is retalliation, not really a necessity.

This article is not even written by Chinese, we dont need to bragg that as retaliation. The linking Lhasa to Nyingchi is a necessity we don't spend money just for the show off to India, the plan was announced in August...it was way before your Indian announcement of your road or 54 outposts near the borders.

lol is that consider as retaliation to what India is about to do on it border??? We have been charted and do the survey the railway feasibility from Lhasa to Nyingchi for over a year...and if we announce now is certainly not because of India.

No, we will announce oil digging at the vincinity of your Indo-vietnamese oil platform, since it's a contest zone we reserve the right to explore oil at that aera too, and we shall see who will exploite the most oil, you dont have any advantage of compete with us. .
