@rockdogThe Tibet railways is mainly for infrastructure construction during the peace time or urgent reaction after skirmish.

There was a old saying before the railway built: u delivered 1 tone of gasoline to Lhasa, u burnt 40% of them during the transportation.
That's why the Tibet railways are all single lane, not double. It mostly delivered construction materials to Lhasa ans border areas, plus there already pre-reserved military equipments located, so during the war time only need to deliver personnels by air.

From my understanding, around 2040 when the whole networks finished, the situation would be:
A point: there are Hotan, Kashgar, Urumqi connected, mainly for Askai Chin. And Xinjiang PLA has most heavy armed divisions.
B point: Already done, main supply to Lhasa. The other side is Golmud and Xining city. Most of Chinese rocket army are in this regin (Qinghai provice). The Lhasa to Rikaze is also finished, mainly for Siriguri corridors.
C point: The Lhasa to Linzhi is finished, mainly for ur AP , the other side is connected the Chengdu city, biggest city in Western China. 70% of PLAAF fighers are produced here like J10 and J20.
D point: Mainly connected to Kunming city of Yunnan province. This province is the main gateway to connect southeast Asia nations.If needed, PLA would also gain access from Burma to India's NE areas, the northern and western Burma are somehow quite influenced by China than Burma central government.
For such networks, if considering during 2035, IAF only has 30 - 35 wings , it would be hard to attack the whole networks.
Nice map. We see what you did there. Sneaked in a map with Arunachal Pradesh shaded in a different color of light blue while the rest of India is shaded in yellow.
Hope @ezsasa or other mods delete the map till @rockdog posts the corrected one showing Arunachal Pradesh as a part of India.
His partner is already taking liberties with his gomutra and cowdung jibes in the China Economy thread.
