May 14th, 2011
naval officers and men marched to the resident high-speed rail travel.
Recently, the United States, Jamestown Foundation, China Presentation, published an article, according to the PLA General Logistics Department of Military Transportation Ministry, China currently has more than 1,000 railway stations with a military transport facilities, thus building up a complete network of rail security, and enhance the PLAs strategic projection capacity. Moreover, China is still building its railway infrastructure extends to the surrounding areas, it would be the United States and Western countries have significant interests in the regions military and strategic influence. WASHINGTON this article, only for reference.
With Chinas rise on the international stage, Chinas military power to achieve a great improvement. Beijing increasingly ambitious aspirations, Chinas leaders has been requested to promote more actively protect their own interests. Currently, these requirements made by analyst has put a spotlight on the PLA to modernize its forces to defend their own vast borders capacity. For example, following the April 2010, the crisis in Kyrgyzstan Kyrgyz opposition through violent protests forced the government to step down, the Chinese Research Institute of Modern International Relations Chen Xiangyang has proposed implementation of the Neighbors strategy to protect China the surrounding area. This proposal of his senior leaders of the Chinese armys response, and mentioned the possibility of penetration of the Central Asian region. January 2010, Hong Kong Panorama magazine had carried an article saying, in the output of railway technology, China from a strategic point of view, the railway and its military significance, because they can increase Chinas force projection capability.
In fact, under this strategic vision, November 17, 2010, the PLA at the end of the Shanghai World Expo security mission, they first take the high-speed rail from Shanghai to Nanjing in Nanjing to return to their barracks. In response, some Chinese military analysts said that the PLA high-speed rail operations in the non-war military troops and light equipment in the projection of the ideal way.
present, China has built a railway to Tibet, Nepal, leading to the railway under construction, but also plans to build access to Laos, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and Myanmar, high-speed railway. November 5, 2010, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki announced that Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan have agreed to cooperate with China to jointly build a railway from China to Iran, the railway began in China, the Xinjiang Autonomous Region, through Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and finally to Iran. So, China seems to be long-term plans to connect the west of Iraq, Syria, Turkey, and finally to Europe. The program of the United Nations launched the Trans-Asian Railway Network (TAR) project-based, designed for the transportation hub of the Middle East, China and Europe will be connected together.
Given Chinas high-speed rails speed reached 486.1 km/h (302 miles/hour), and the PLA is on the railway as a means of force projection for the PLA Air Force, and providing logistical support, in order to actively enhance their long-range combat capability, so this revival of the Silk Road through the new Orient Express, will be on the United States and Western countries have significant interests in the regions military and strategic influence.
Iron Silk Road, the militarization of colors
military needs is part of Chinas railway development, the PLA is actively involved in the design and planning high-speed railway in Chinas important reasons. For example, the Chengdu Railway Bureau has 14 officers in the main site in leadership positions in key sectors, responsible for coordination of railway planning, design, construction, schedule and track program implementation. In addition, Shenyang Railway Bureau and the PLA also established a local military transportation management system, Shenyang is an important strategic location, close to South Korea, Mongolia and the Yellow Sea. According to the PLA General Logistics Department revealed that China currently has more than 1,000 railway station equipped with a military transport facilities, thus establishing a complete network of rail security, and enhance the PLAs strategic projection capabilities.
2009, the PLA General Logistics Department and Chinese Ministry of Railways cooperation, the Chinese railway equipment, more than 20 more than 100 sets of military facilities, it has a military transport capacity. In the same year, the Beijing government has also invested a lot of money, for some materials, railway stations and military platforms for loading and unloading, equipment, military transport facilities. This investment is designed to meet the PLAs military needs to carry out such as Peace Mission -2010″ joint anti-terrorism military exercises such action. In addition, the PLA General Logistics Department is also actively involved in the whole railway is currently the construction process (from design to completion.) For example, in the building from Kunming to Nanning railway, in order to meet the mobility requirements of the PLA, the Chinese Ministry of Railways adjusted some sections of the design, and 12.4 km railway line extended to the construction cost increase from 15.5 billion yuan ( 2.3266 billion U.S. dollars).
At the same time, some analysts believe that Chinas railway development projects around the militarization of the role.
Central Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia
analysts Se Luoye Kazakhstan Institute for Strategic Studies at King Constantine said that if a serious conflict in the future threaten Chinas security or strategic interests of the case, then by the rapid development of Chinas participation in road and rail infrastructure in Central Asia, the PLA may be used to carry out action plans. And this has been in the Peace Mission -2010″ joint anti-terrorism military exercise has been confirmed that time, Chinas use of the railway will transport its troops to Kazakhstan.
In addition, such as Vietnam and India and other countries, there are also concerns. For this reason, Vietnam has been refused by Chinas high-speed rail technology (cost of 325 billion U.S. dollars), instead of using the higher cost of Japans Shinkansen technology (cost 550 billion). Moreover, the June 19, 2010, the Vietnamese National Assembly to vote against Chinas high-speed rail plan. According to Asia Week said, some Vietnamese politicians rail against the adoption of Chinas high technology, it is because they worry that China may be transported by rail to the PLA forces.
in the Tibet Autonomous Region, in 2006 the opening of the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Railway is the Peoples Liberation Army Air Forces supply lines to increase their mobility. August 3, 2010, Liberation Army Daily reported that a fully loaded train the Air Force an important war material by the railway to Tibet. China is rapidly upgrading railways and airports in Tibet, there are four operating the airport, another airport under construction. If the Sino-Indian relations continue to deteriorate to the edge of military conflict, then travel through the Mountain Peoples Liberation Army rapid deployment of the railway to the area. In fact, for decades, rail and highway construction is Chinas Himalaya strategy early in the Peoples Liberation Army prepared to regain Tibet, Mao Zedong proposed through road ahead.
Iran (China Iran) railway
2010 年 10 months, China, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Iran, Minister of Transport in Tajikistan Dushanbe entered into an agreement to begin building the railway and Iraq. The railway began in China, Xinjiang, through Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan until the Iranian, and then split into two, the south line to the Gulf, to the West via Turkey into Europe. Earlier, China and Iran signed a 20 billion deal, the Ministry of Construction of the railway system in Boise, the system will continue westward into Iraq, and finally with Syria, Turkey and the Mediterranean countries connected.
Turkey (China Turkey) railway
the same in October 2010, to upgrade China-Turkmenistan relations as strategic partnership between the two countries signed agreement from Turkey to build high-speed railway in China to enhance bilateral military relations, and China (to replace Israel and the U.S.) for the Anatolian Eagle routine NATO air combat exercise. China increased by 300 billion dollars to build a 7,000 km cross-high-speed rail in Turkey, will also be upgrading the railway connecting Turkey and Pakistan, planning a Lake Van to Pakistan along the railway. In addition, China together with Bulgaria and Turkey were also invited to join the Eurasian high-speed railway project. China has also provided a large number of construction loans, in exchange for using the Bulgarian rivers, seaports and airports, as the route to the transport hub in Western Europe.
view of the strategic partnership between Turkey and the expected future military exercises, Chinas railway to improve the PLAs power projection and in the Middle East and the wider Black Sea region exists. In addition to October 2010, Anatolian Eagle exercises in the Black Sea during the Chinese fighter over the area, the early November, the Chinese special operations forces in Turkey commandos carried out a joint exercise schools. Peoples Liberation Army Air Force in Iran to Turkey to refuel, the future, high-speed rail can be logistical support and transport of war materials.
and Iran (China Iraq) Railway
China is building a railway across the Eurasian continent, but the security situation and U.S. and NATO forces a large number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan there are still large sections without road connections. However, after the U.S. withdrawal, China will promote the United Nations took over peacekeeping operations, the PLA deployed to protect Chinas energy and strategic interests. China copper mine in Afghanistan and Iraq Aynak various oil and gas fields has invested 3.4 billion. China could also use the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to strengthen regional cooperation and building through Afghanistan to Iran, Iraq, the final connection of the railway. China and Iran has no intention to join the Western-led activities, such as TRACECA (also known as the New Silk Road). On the contrary, the two countries want to build their own projects, or sanctions are not limited to Western interests.
PLA is the railway as a means of force projection for the PLA Air Force, and providing logistical support, in order to actively enhance its long-range combat capabilities, so this revival of the Silk Road through the new Orient Express, will be of the United States and Western countries have significant interests in the regions military and strategic influence.
Orient Express delivery China effect
China Construction across Asia and the Middle East high-speed rail project plan has a strategic importance. The railway will be poorer and more prosperous region in areas linked to the economic downturn, can provide a large number of jobs, making Chinas military and security forces to better the power projection abroad. Although the air transport faster, but only less staff and less equipment, and rail transport soldiers and is an important way of heavy equipment, maintenance supplies easier.
as Chinas economy and energy portfolio in the Middle East continue to increase, the future conditions of the PLA may deploy troops through the High Speed ??Rail, the non-war military action to protect strategic interests. In fact, in January 2011 there were rumors that the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army has deployed troops to the northeastern part of North Korea Rajin Pioneer Special Economic Zone, to protect Chinas investment in port facilities. Does this mean the future of Afghanistan, Iraq and other parts of Chinas interests, a similar situation occurs, for the future of the PLA, Orient Express, this is still a mystery.
