China to upgrade transport infrastructures in Tibet
Online Edition
CHINA has decided to promote the development of transport infrastructures in Tibet to make travels on "the roof of the world" much easier.
The Ministry of Transport (MOT) said in a guideline that China aims to expand highways in the autonomous region to 110,000 kilometers by 2020.
China plans to complete a primary network of railways by then with 1,300 kilometers of rails in operation. The country will also build more airports in Tibet.
To that end, the MOT will beef up support to the construction of transport infrastructures in Tibet and make specific plans to ensure the accomplishment of these targets.
In ancient times, it usually took months even years for people living in the country's middle and eastern regions to get to Tibet.
Although airlines, railways and expressways have made travels to Tibet much more convenient, the transport infrastructures in the autonomous region are still outdated.
"The development of transport in Tibet is crucial to China's national security and lasting prosperity in the autonomous region," said the MOT guideline.
