- Less Time

Shorter and Better Route for import:
After the Gawadar it will be easier for China to import from middle east, mostly energy import.
Current route of import to china is around 12000 KMs long. Now the distance from Gawadar to Xinjiang (China) is around 3000 KMs and around 3500 more KMs from Xinjiang to eastern coast of China.
Now If china import or export from Gawadar it will save around 40% distance.
Shipping Cost and Less Time:
Now cost and time is directly proportional with distance. As discussed in previous point if distance is decreased the cost and time will also decreased and it is ultimately benefit to China.

If cost and time is benefit to the fellow countries many countries will make strong relation with China because they will deliver in time.
