Its a good idea since it will bypass Afghanistan, which is too unstable to make any dependency on. This is the problem that India has with her make in India strategy as China is getting cheaper energy from Russia than India, and China will have cheaper and more efficient transport lines to the key markets. This results in lower cost of manufacture and therefore Chinese products have an inherent cost advantage.

India is limited by her geography ...

This route will have to go through at least Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Why not just link through Pakistan? Is China abandoaning the Pakistan route ?

China has many different routes, only an extremely dumb one only rely on one route.

Ok, just like the many ghost cities in China, I guess. Only someone dumb would focus on identifying and concentrating on the best route instead of spraying their investments all over. China believes in communism so each country should get at least 1% of the Chinese trade transit even if it makes all the routes economically unviable. I suppose Iran should get ready to sign agreements that guarantee 20% USD returns to China and follow in the footsteps or Sri Lanka and Pakistan.

To be honest Pakistan and uzbikestan and tajikestan and turkamanestan all need to build a rail road with standard gauge for these route work efficently
They are the non standard part of the new silk road

We do the same thing in Singapore.
We build town by town so we can plan more efficiently and have traffic well distributed. People only moved in when new town is reasonably well furnished with connecting roads, shops and facilities.
We had 1 failure, not much takers for the actually not so far away flats, and after that the Government required us to put in a hefty non refundable deposit and now that there is no more unpopular far away from town empty space to build a new town, flats are only built to order(BTO flats).
MRT trains solved that failure town problem 10 years later.

Don't be BRAINWASHED by propaganda from the $500 million SMEAR CHINA FUND.

I think it has to do with Pakistan being susceptible to foreign influence. For example Pakistan Iran Gas Pipeline
