Tibet without an army is always vulnerable to foreign control enabling political leverage over the source of water of the 2 main rivers of China. The high speed rail hints at Turner’s ‘Rain, Steam and Speed’ that has a train coming out of mists of industrialisation as if the future is heading to the viewer.
