Pakistan Today: Why Bangladesh should Use Gwadar Port

[bluesky]

It will cost more to ship imports from east coast of China to the Western region and then ship it Gwador, shipping by sea is cheaper than railroad.

I have never heard Shanghai or Beijing areas claimed they would do trade via Gwadar, probably 10,000 km away. This port is for trade with its southwest areas like Xinjiang and Tibet which lie in the north of Pakistan.

@bluesky bhai Gwadar was set up because the Chinese needed a trade route to/from Europe via Xinjiang/Kashgar through Pakistan if Indians blocked Chinese vessels plying through Singapore and South/West parts of Indian ocean and Arabian Sea. That is the whole Idea of OBOR (belt and road). That is why China is also building a railroad from Beijing/Shanghai to Europe via Central Asia (new silk road).

From Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Province, to Beijing, the freight train takes only 30 hours. China's domestic transportation does not need to consider too much. It has low cost and fast speed. And Bangladesh exporters only need to prepare DES quotations from different ports. China's domestic logistics is the work of Chinese importers.
It's a good idea to enter the Chinese market through Gwadar Port.

Gwadar to Urumqi is about 3000 km and Urumqi to Beijing another 3000 km. The Gwadar-Urumqi part of the railway track has not yet been built.

As far as I understand, separate railway tracks, other than passenger railway tracks, are needed to be built because freight trains are much heavier than passenger trains. In this case, the weight of steel tracks per meter is much heavier.

Whatever looks cheap today may not remain cheap forever. With the development of a country, the labor cost also rises and with it the cost of transportation.

So, do not please count on the availability of cheap transportation forever. To me, Gwadar is good for Urumqi and Tibet people and Shanghai will remain the main Port for most of China because sea transportation will remain cheaper all the time to come.
