OK No. 1 CPEC Is Meant To Serve Western and Central China(To Which Industries Have Started Relocating) Not East and No. 2 Would You Also Mind Telling The Distance Between Shanghai and Dubai via Sea Route and Then Make A Comparison?????Thirdly It Is A Rule Of The Thumb That Rail and Road Based Transport Is More Expensive Than Sea Transport and The Only Advantage They Have Is That They Save On Capital Cost In Inventory Which Is In Essence An Opportunity Cost and Not A Cash Flow.Distance Means Nothing Except In Very Special Circumstances
I knew you would ask this question, that's why I've provided you the link of ports.com, why don't you check that yourself ????
Just like you have explained the case of CPEC, in our case, multiple dry runs and feasibility studies conducted, not only by India alone but but ADB and others involved had clearly shown that we can easily reduce USD 2500 on every 15 Tons of cargo being shipped. Hope now at-least you understood the logic .
