The weather in Hubu, Pakistan

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor starts from Kashgar, Xinjiang and ends at Gwadar Port, Pakistan, with a total length of 3,000 kilometers. It is a trade corridor including roads, railways and oil and gas optical cable channels, and it is also an important part of China Belt and Road Planning. This economic corridor was proposed by China in 20 13, and its original intention was to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between China and Pakistan and promote the economic development of the two regions. It is estimated that the total cost of the huge project of building Destiny will reach $45 billion. The two countries plan to complete the project in 2030. Speaking of which, you may be confused. Didn't you say that the motherland is an infrastructure madman? Then why wait so long?

This is because the construction of this economic corridor is too difficult, and the China-Pakistan economic corridor needs to cross the Himalayas one after another. Hindu Kush Mountain, Karakorum Mountain and Kunlun Mountain have huge quantities. Karakoram highway, built in 1979, is in disrepair. Coupled with the melting of alpine snow and ice in summer, the traffic of this highway is often blocked by the dammed lake, with harsh geological conditions and frequent natural disasters along the route. So the construction of this road is the most difficult part of the whole economic corridor. China will not only help Pakistan to build this highway, but also help Pakistan to improve the domestic No.1 railway trunk line and extend it northward. After passing through the China-Pakistan border port, Hongqi Lapu connects Kashgar, which is the most important north-south railway trunk line in Pakistan, with a total length of 1.726 meters.

In addition, we will help Pakistan upgrade the existing railways in the east, and at the same time, we will build a railway leading to Gwadar Port in the future. These assistance will greatly improve Pakistan's traffic construction. If you want to build roads first, there is nothing wrong with this concept. The improvement of transportation infrastructure will drive the economic development of the whole region. In addition to transportation, we will also help Pakistan in energy. At present, Pakistan is facing a serious energy shortage, among which power shortage is their biggest problem. The power shortage is as high as 5000 MW every summer. 20 15 Many domestic companies signed a thermal power contract for Kassem Port in Pakistan in Qingdao. This marks the official launch of the first energy project in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. It is estimated that after the project is started, it will generate about 9.5 billion kWh of electricity every year, which will greatly alleviate the power shortage in Pakistan.

In 20 17, China invested in the construction of a coal-fired power station in Hubu, Balochistan, which met the electricity demand of 4 million local families. Besides meeting Pakistan's energy needs. We will also help Pakistan to use solar energy and wind energy to generate electricity, so as to improve the country's energy structure and realize environmental protection development. At the same time at 20 13. China Port Control Co., Ltd. has obtained the right to operate Gwadar Port Free Zone. So, we started the construction of Gwadar Port, and now more than 20 Chinese and Pakistani enterprises have settled in the free park. The annual output value exceeds 5 billion yuan, and this small city with a population of less than 654.38+10,000 provides a lot of job opportunities. China has also installed a desalination facility here with a daily processing capacity of 5.5 million gallons. To meet the free water supply needs of local residents, our company has also built local schools and scholarships to help local students study in China. 20 17 The government of Karamay, Xinjiang built the first local multi-factor automatic weather station. The establishment of this weather station will provide meteorological services for the port. In the future, meteorological services in shipping, aviation, environment and other aspects will be carried out, which will be beneficial to port cargo transportation.

Having said that, China is helping Pakistan along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. What's in it for us? First of all, it promoted Xinjiang's foreign exchange and economic development. With the opening of the Silk Road Economic Belt in China, Xinjiang in the future is an exchange platform for Central Asia and West Asia. It will become another economic exchange center of the motherland. As part of the Belt and Road Initiative, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor will not only improve the transportation links between Xinjiang and other countries, but also promote economic cooperation between Xinjiang and other countries. It can also promote the economic development of the whole Xinjiang region. Although the motherland has spent a lot of money to build Pakistan, a large number of enterprises have entered Pakistan for development. At the same time, Xinjiang itself does not have advantages in agricultural development, and the future industry and tertiary industry are the choices for Xinjiang's economic development.

If we can get a lot of labor and energy support from Pakistan, Xinjiang's future industrial development will be very rapid, and Xinjiang can also accept more Pakistani tourists. China has another way to travel to Pakistan, which will greatly promote the development of tourism in Xinjiang. Therefore, this economic corridor is the foundation of Xinjiang's future economic take-off. The China-China Economic Corridor not only has great advantages in economic development, but also is very important for ensuring's energy security. At present, 70% of our domestic oil depends on imports. This mainly depends on the Middle East. We import a lot of agricultural products from South America every year, such as beef from Argentina, and a lot of minerals from Africa for domestic use, and this route must pass through the Straits of Malacca. However, if there is only one channel, once an accident happens, the import and export channels of energy and minerals in China will be completely blocked, which will seriously affect the domestic economic construction.

With the opening of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, all kinds of materials imported from abroad can come to China and Xinjiang through this corridor, and finally reach all parts of the country. Some people will say that the transportation cost and time will increase greatly, but it will ensure the energy security of China. After all, safety is above everything else. Moreover, Gwadar Port at the end of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor is also very important. It is an important port to ensure China's energy security. It is only 400 kilometers away from the Strait of Hormuz, the main transportation corridor in the world. It is an important port that guards the transportation of oil channels in the Middle East.

At the same time, the downward radiation of Gwadar Port will become the hottest section of the entire Indian Ocean route, whether it is ships from South America, Africa or the Mediterranean, as long as they pass through the Indian Ocean region. Gwadar Port can be a new choice and will become an important transit point for Indian Ocean routes in the future. With more than 70% of the world's maritime trade mastered, Xinjiang's future economic development and China's energy security will depend on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, which can't be abandoned in any case.
