you may be right but distance between northen iran to uzbegistan to kazakistan to kirgistan to china is much shorter and safer than for kashghar to gawadar and since the cost will be lower as the terrain is much more or less same new silk route is much economical and relativelly nearer to mainland china and above all all it takes to tranport all that oil and gas is a simple pipe line with no hastle of loading and unloading at diffrent stages rest you sir can speculate yourselfI don't know from where you got these images, but if these are true thn look at the first pic oil pipelines from iran via Pakistan is the shortest way instead of iran-afghanistan-kyrgystan thn China.
point is China is building CEPC as an insurence policy if there is problem in movement of its maratime commercial traffic from SCS tomalakka straits to bay of bengal to arbian sea to seuz canal to europe and beyond
while India is developing Chabahar as a short route from chabahar to afghansitan or chabahar to central asia to russia its in no way to competete with gawadar as both have diffrent objectives but its the carefully cultivated paranoia against so called "evil indian design" that is the major stumbling block than anything else cheers mate
