Can Beijing’s gateway plan for Tibet survive geopolitics and natural disasters?

A new international land port in Shigatse, Tibet, is being built to increase trade efficiency and customs checks. The project, which includes smart inspection systems and automated cargo gantries, aims to process up to 300 trucks daily by 2030. However, its success is uncertain due to geopolitical tensions and the risk of natural disasters in the region, which could impact the port's operation and the flow of goods. This could have significant implications for trade and the local economy.
