What's new

'Historic' EU-Mid East-India trade plan launched - EU-Mideast-India trade plan launched at G20 summit

Looks costly. loading and unloading goods will take too much time. So 40% time cut is fake propaganda. This route will take more time than sea freight.
unfortunately NOT TRUE. It takes nearly a month to cross through the Suez . It takes 12 days with new route. False propaganda is people who know nothing about ACTUAL transit times

Quoting your own ramblings is sad joke

Rail transportation is fast but shipment volume is limited. Sea transportation is slow but shipment volume is huge. When the two combined, buckets effect happens. It's slow and low volume.

Chinese projects are either pure sea transportation or pure rail transportation.
If rail infrastructure use is to be maximized to increase speed, It only makes sense the sea journey is kept to a minimum. To counter this plan, linking Gwadar and the UAE and then building out the Iraqi and Syrian rail networks to link up with Turkey and Europe will bypass Iran.

China is already helping to rebuild Iraqi rail infrastructure and building a rail line in the balkans.

The real issue here is not Indian trade to Europe, but specifically the potential of ASEAN trade to Europe once Myanmar allows trains between ASEAN countries and India. If China can convince the Myanmar government to block a rail route to India, and at the same time build a rail route across Tibet and down into Pakistan, China will have linked Gwadar with ASEAN by rail, giving China control of the only rail route between ASEAN and the World, and India’s corridor to a Asia will be just Indian trade to Europe, which would undermine Indian plans, in that regard, for greater economic heft in global affairs.

Building out the Lhasa to Heitan railway along side the Karakoram railway between Xinjiang and Pakistan (especially so the cargo is not held up by disputes between Pakistan and Afghanistan, on a trans-afghan railway) should now be seen as a strategic need to counter this Indian corridor.

Well the work has already begun, don't think Myanmar will block us that easily.

The main part of this route is linking Israel-Jordan-Saudi Arabia-UAE ......... Rest is only top-ups.
