Taking advantage of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, Tibet has not only been enjoying rapid growth of both domestic and foreign investments but also the opportunity to sell its products to other parts of China. People’s Daily investigated how the influx of investment affects the Tibetan economy, society and lifestyle.

Yunnan government said that the province wants to develop a logistics centre that is well-connected to Southeast Asia over the next three to five years, China News reported.

The launch of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has triggered chain investment in Tibet, Xinhua reported.

Qinghai Mobile and Tibet Mobile said that after the second phase of construction, GSM will cover more than 95% of the entire Qinghai-Tibet railway, ChinaTechNews reported.

For the first half of 1006, China’s total railway investment mounts to 62.19 billion yuan, which is a 190% year-on-year jump. The Ministry of Railways said that the investment was mainly allocated for large- and middle-scaled construction projects.
