Description	China is set to build a massive railway line linking Tibet and northwestern Xinjiang, passing near the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India through the disputed Aksai Chin region. The project aims to establish a 5,000-km plateau rail framework centred on Lhasa by 2035, with the 2,000-km Lhasa-Hotan (Xinjiang) line forming a strategic artery linking northwestern and southwestern China. The railway will traverse challenging terrains including glaciers, frozen rivers, and permafrost. The project is expected to enhance China's ability to deploy troops and mobilise defence equipment faster to the border area.
