"The Qinghai-Tibet railway already links the rest of China with the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, and beyond, and an extension running as far as the international border is already being planned 'at Nepal’s request,' the China Daily quoted a railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering as saying.
"The project is expected to be completed by 2020, the newspaper cited a Tibetan official as saying. Extending the line would potentially forge a crucial link between China and the huge markets of India. It was raised by the Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, on a visit to Kathmandu in December, according to Nepalese reports.
“ 'The line will probably have to go through Qomolangma so that workers may have to dig some very long tunnels,' railway expert Wang Mengshu told the China Daily, referring to Mount Everest by its Tibetan name.
