Xinjiang Province: News & Discussions

This highway is just a big engineering joke of 21st century, how much we have to pay to maintain and to prevent sand from cover up this highway? any sand storm will make this as high way of doom, we pay an heavy price to artificially keep this highway alive, We should bring water from Tibet to reforest and recover this land.

Just maintain the plants along the line and that is enough!

You worry too much,There are Tazhong Oilfields in the central part of the Taklamakan Desert. In any case, this road must be constructed and properly maintained.
The actual operating costs are not high at all.

Why would I be worry since I'm not the one paying for this highway , I merely express my opinion, see on the pictures how may cars or trucks run one the high way .

According to your statement, China should abandon Xinjiang and Tibet, especially Tibet, where there is only 3.3 million people. This is a big place wasting Chinese military spending.

Your point of view has its own problems. In some places, the roads are very busy. In some places, there are fewer vehicles on the road . Because there are few vehicles, will a road not be put into service?

In some mountainous regions, if 100% of electrification is to be achieved, sometimes it is necessary to lose money to build infrastructure. Does the State Grid of China no need to increase grid coverage to avoid losing money?

My friend, this type of project cannot be judged solely for an economical point of view, particularly not on a standard alone basis.it has its strategic merit which is far beyond the economy. You are quite right there are other more appealing projects but they are complimenting not competing in nature.

Don't put word in my mouth, point me any logical evident that I suggest to abandon Xinjiang and Tibet, the kind of people like you that like to make false accusation is troublesome for China and Chinese people, if people don't go by your ideology or mindset then they're anti-China...LMAO. I merely suggest that we could have bring water to Xinjiang for reforestation than let the nature to take over the desert then we don't have to waste so much money to maintain this 522 km highway.

How much more money and efforts would it cost to take water all the way from Tibet through the mountains to Xinjiang, compared to just maintaining a road, which I guess can be done by simple automatic cleaning trucks going up and down the road at regular intervals ? Even if a hundred trucks per day were needed to clean the road, which I don't think is the case at all, it would still remain much much cheaper than a canal bringing water from Tibet and then distributing that water on both sides of the road for hundreds of miles. If a truck costs 1000 dollars per day to do that, that would be 3.6 billion dollars to have those 100 trucks clean the road et the same time continually every single day for an entire century. That's nothing compared to the crazy amount it would cost to divert water from Tibet to Xinjiang.

Do you know how much money would be spent on the so called Tibet to xinjang river 红旗河？？
No need to consider the salinization problem of the inland river？？. Just to say a few words, this 6,000-kilometer river can circulate well??.

Your suggestions are impractical, while at the same time blindly accusing the road that actually plays a huge role (since you see that there are not many vehicles on the road, you feel that this road is useless??). I think the current Taklamakan Desert Highway is quite Well, it has great practical significance to promote the development of oilfields, desert tourism, blocking of mobile sand dunes, and connecting the north and south regions of Xinjiang as well.

MORE than 13,000 students will attend “Xinjiang classes” in economically developed regions this year, according to the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region education authority.

Almost 10,000 will attend high schools. Currently, 93 high schools across China offer Xinjiang classes, part of a national program to train talent for the region.

The remaining students will attend vocational schools.

This year, about 77 percent of the students come from Aksu, Hotan, Kashgar and Kizilsu Kirgiz prefectures in southern Xinjiang.

The Xinjiang classes program, which began 17 years ago, has sent 90,000 students from Xinjiang to study in more economically developed regions.

Over 21,000 have graduated from university and returned to the region, according to Xinjiang’s education department.

Xinjiang classes have provided students from remote parts of the region with the opportunity to study at high-quality schools.

The region is home to 47 ethnic groups, including Han, Kazak, Mongol, Tajik and Uygur.

When are they going to turn Xinjiang into an arable land? I hope China has already started the water diversion project. It's critically important for China to be self-sufficient in food.

It is always fun driving on a desert road.
