China builds railway near India border, raising security concerns.
China has started building a strategic railway near the Line of Actual Control connecting Tibet to Lhasa, part of a planned 5,000-km rail network around Lhasa over the next decade.
The project, expected to be completed in five years, raises Indian security concerns due to its proximity—20–30 km—to the Demchok border in Ladakh and its passage through resource-rich areas like Aksai Chin and Changtang, which contain lithium, uranium, and other critical minerals.
Alongside the rail line, China is expanding a highway between Nagchu and Ngari, enhancing military mobility and logistics in border regions.
Tibetan experts and analysts describe the infrastructure push as a strategic effort to strengthen Beijing’s administrative and military control over Tibet, with broader implications for regional stability.
India’s own border rail projects remain in early planning stages, increasing concerns over a growing strategic imbalance.
