So the main goal of the airport is tourism? Is this region and use of this airport being promoted in China? Is there a movement amongst people, naturally, to seeing all corners of the country. Like a certain sub-culture; Hiking culture, Treking Culture, Skiing Culture, Mountain climbing, seeing all the ethnicities, etc.
 
In this remote Pamir border town, more Pakistanis can be seen than Han Chinese.

Many Pakistanis live in this border town

Han tourists feel they themselves are foreigners , a random small restaurant in Tashkurgan has more pakistanis than Han Chinese travelers.

Truck drivers? Pakistani Tourists?

Is there a standard gauge railway connection all the way into Uzbekistan?

The Afghan raiwlay needs $5 Billion, the Modernization of Pakistan’s ML-1 needs $10 Billion, and an extension to Gwadar probably needs a further $5 Billion. Oil shipments via this route would be quicker to build and easier to operate. Shipping a lot of goods by rail would be cheaper and could absorb business from local trucking companies to recoup investment, on a 5-10 year BOT basis.

The problem on the Chinese side is that only about 6% of China's population live in the western half of the country, Xinjiang much bigger than Pakistan only has about 25 million people, all the oil and products from Pakistan still have to be transported to the far away eastern half of China. But, I agree this route is an alternate strategic route for China besides Malacca.

In the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympics, Chinese skaters win gold and sliver by fooling all the foreign competitors

Female skaters Li Jinzi and Yang Jingru repeated their feats on January 21 in the girls' 1,000 meters, after Yang led a one-two finish in the 1,500 meters on Saturday in spectacular fashion. Male skater Zhang Xinzhe also won the 1,000 meters on Sunday.

The female pairs' tactics on Saturday were hotly discussed on the Chinese social media throughout the weekend.

Yang skated to lap the entire field in the early phase of the final - often a self-destructive move in distance races - but then lurked at the tail of the pack, a move that left the other competitors seemingly unaware that they were actually lagging behind.

When the referee sounded the bell to notify Yang it was her final lap, the other skaters sped up to cross the "finish" line - but they were still one lap behind.

Yang's teammate Li then continued her pace to finish the race in the second place. The pair high-fived each other after Li crossed the line.

Yang finished in 2 minutes and 33.148 seconds, followed by teammate Li in 2:41.543.

All the foreign competitors thought the ringing bell meant it's their last lap, but actually the bell was only rang for one Chinese skater, all other skaters still had one more lap to go to finish the race.

All the foreign coaches were almost ready to jump into the rink waving their hands and shouting to their skaters that they still had one more lap to go, but all the skaters were very confused to their coaches shouting.
 
That was some sensational planning and team work. I am pretty sure they decided who will go for gold even before the race.
