Imagine a rail line, and/or pipeline going all the way from Pakistan's Arabian Sea coast into the mountain passes between China and Pakistan? What for, well for a back-door to China of course, and better entrance to Middle Eastern Oil. For years many have speculated a pipeline through Afghanistan, and today there is a pipeline task semi-completed through three countries above Afghanistan to China's border.
China needs resources and they will get them anyway they know how. A Chinese Oil business may make a deal with Pakistan to build a rail line from the Port Gwadar in Pakistan all the way to the Xinjiang Province in China? Is it inherent to build something along that passage, which could take oil all the way from the Port of Gwadar, the Southwestern Coast of Pakistan on the Arabian Sea?

After all, this port was built with Chinese Assistance, and it is also militarily guarded due to a pact between China and Pakistan. It's strategically leading well to China, Pakistan, and Middle Eastern Oil Supply, and this means the Us may be challenged to get the oil it needs. So, the plan is to take the pipeline and ambitious rail way law along the path of the KaraKoram Highway Passage, which is the modern equivalent of the old "Silk Roads" and the same trade route through the mountains.
If China is challenged by Naval Blockades, devastating typhoons in its port cities, or conflicts while a "Hong Kong-China Reunification" conflict, China would still be able to get the resources it needs to get into the country, without being worried. Of course, along such a narrow passage there are fullness of choke points for terrorist disruptions too. But, personally, I find the project; ambitious, worthy, strategic, and wise on their part. So, maybe you might make a note of all this.
