China-Pakistan Highway mobilized10.5 million people, and 700 people paid their precious lives. What is the significance after completion?

China's infrastructure technology has always enjoyed a high reputation in the world. Although China is relatively backward in technology and economy in history, it even relies on the technical support provided by western countries. But now, China is constantly exploring science and technology in the process of development, and we have mastered advanced technology and no longer rely on the technology of western countries.

With the continuous improvement of the economy, people travel conveniently. China has also carried out a lot of infrastructure construction, constantly improving social infrastructure. Now China's infrastructure has made one success after another, and its technology is becoming more and more mature. Even the western countries look at China with new eyes.

China has not only improved its domestic infrastructure, but also built transnational expressways to promote the economic development of neighboring countries. In addition to the China-Nepal Railway, China built the China-Pakistan Highway as early as 1960s, with a total length of1032km, including 416km in China and 616km in Pakistan.

Because this expressway was built earlier and the domestic social development was not mature enough at that time, it was difficult to build this expressway. At that time, 15000 people were mobilized to build the China-Pakistan highway, and about 700 people from both sides gave their precious lives, equivalent to one life per kilometer of highway.

China-Pakistan Highway, also known as karakoram highway, is also known as China-Pakistan Friendship Highway or Pamir Highway. This highway starts from Kashgar, Xinjiang, China in the north, passes through Karakorum Mountain, Hindu Kush Mountain, Pamir Plateau and the western end of Himalayan Mountains, passes through the China-Pakistan border port at the Hongqilafu Pass, and reaches Takot, a city in northern Pakistan in the south.

China-Pakistan Railway is known as the highest and most beautiful highway in the world. Because the lowest elevation of all China highways is1154m and the highest elevation is 4733m, it is also rated as? Top ten steep slopes in the world? One. When this highway was built on 1966, due to the extremely complicated geological conditions, avalanches, landslides, rockfalls, landslides, snow, ice accumulation, earthquakes and other geological disasters often occurred, and the pavement and bridge facilities along the way were often damaged, and tragedies such as car crashes and deaths often occurred. The difficulty can be imagined.

The China-Pakistan Highway crosses the Karakorum Mountains, which is one of the most awe-inspiring mountain landscapes on earth. It stretches for thousands of kilometers, with an average elevation of more than 6000 meters. You can imagine how rugged and steep this road is, and the low temperature of ice and snow in winter is still eroding and destroying this road. Because of the great difficulty in construction, this expressway is also called the eighth wonder of the world.

Since the geological conditions of this highway are so poor, why did China and Pakistan build the China-Pakistan Highway? This is mainly because the China-Pakistan Highway is the traffic link in northern Pakistan, the main road leading to Islamabad, the capital, and the southern coastal areas, which is of great significance to the economic development of the northern region, and also the main road for China to Pakistan and the South Asian subcontinent.

This road not only symbolizes the friendship between China and Pakistan, but also makes it easier for China to import oil. In fact, China is one of the largest oil importers in the Middle East, and China imports a lot of oil from the Middle East every year. It is reported that Saudi Arabia accounts for 16%, Oman accounts for 10%, and Iran and Iraq account for 9%.

The construction of China-Pakistan Highway will be more convenient for China to import and export resources. Is it the same with China-Pakistan Highway? Belt and Road? In the past, our country relied too much on the Straits of Malacca, which led to many detours in resource transportation. In order to save transportation costs, the construction of China-Pakistan highway is of great significance to our country.

The relationship between Pakistan and China has been very friendly since ancient times. Pakistan expressed its willingness to become China? Energy corridor? Help China reduce its dependence on the Malacca Strait, a traditional oil import channel.

In order to promote the development of the two countries and expand the China-Pakistan highway, the first phase of the China-Pakistan highway reconstruction and expansion project was completed on 20 13. The highway was widened, the speed reached 80 kilometers per hour, and the transportation capacity tripled. With the opening of the 20 15 China-Pakistan highway, the trade logistics time between the two countries has been shortened by about 8 days, and the transportation cost per ton of goods has been reduced by at least 100 USD.

China-Pakistan Highway not only facilitates China to import Middle East oil, improves transportation efficiency, promotes local economic development and improves traffic conditions, but also facilitates economic and trade exchanges between the two countries. Therefore, although this expressway is difficult to build, it has brought huge economic benefits.

Today, China's international status is constantly improving, and its international influence is greatly enhanced. Many infrastructure projects built by China in the world have been highly recognized by the international community. I believe that in the future, with the rapid development of China, China will be more and more prosperous. So what else do you want to say about this?
