Rules:
A: now it will advance along benefitial Axies to cut it into ever smaller Isolated Pockets until its Insolance is Punished.
B: China has complete fire planting control over the desert encirclement. The sand has two choices: surrender to the trees or die be blown away.
A: 30 planes , 7000 Artillery Pieces and 5000 Rocketlauncher have encircled Taklimatan & let it rain down relentlsly on him..he will be Molded into the ground!
Jokes aside, i am fascinated with this region and with what China has been accomplishing there. Just the fact that they managed to build whole highways through an enormous shifting sand desert that is basically the size of Germany is a feat in and of itself. The most recent one actually finished just over a year ago:

And on top of that they've also built the first zero carbon desert highway:

And since i love maps, here are a couple showing the by now quite extensive desert highway network:
In fact by now there is actually a fourth north-south connection:
All of these cut travel times by a lot since now you no longer have to drive around the entire desert.
And right at the crossroads of two of those highways, in the middle of the desert hundreds of kilometers from any other major settlement, is a whole town called Tazhong. This Chinese travel vlogger went there and it's fascinating to see how people live in such a remote location.
Here's some more cool maps:
The old silk road:
Tarim river tributary system (some of these rivers only flow seasonally, if at all... it's a very dry place):

Nice info-drop, cfgaussian
Thanks! I know it was probably not super relevant to your post but i'm just a big nerd for geography and i love sharing cool stuff about lesser known parts of the world.
