Why Did China Dare to Build a $50 Billion Railway at 3,000 Meters Above Freezing?

The Sichuan-Tibet railway project in China is one of the most ambitious engineering projects in the world, aiming to connect remote areas in the Tibetan Plateau. This project involves tunneling through mountains, crossing large rivers, and facing extreme geological conditions. However, the construction cost for each kilometer of railway reaches 50 million USD, several times higher than similar projects worldwide.
