About this listen

China's construction of the Gupetan shiplift,, a massive engineering project designed to overcome the challenging mountainous terrain and treacherous waterways of Guizhou Province. This $7.7 billion structure acts as a **vertical highway**, lifting **10,000-ton ships** nearly 200 meters in a matter of hours, effectively replacing a previously **slow and expensive transport system**. The shiplift has significantly **boosted the regional economy** by reducing shipping costs, increasing trade, and attracting investment, but it also serves a **strategic purpose** by **fortifying China's domestic supply chains** against potential global disruptions and facilitating water management for **climate adaptation**. #china #usa #tradewar #business
