Although China is not an Arctic state, Chinese officials are taking great pains to demonstrate its intrinsic interests in the Arctic region. As China’s global role has grown, it is not surprising that Chinese leaders should seek to take advantage of economic opportunities afforded by the melting Arctic ice, and they are preparing to confront the environmental consequences of Arctic climate change. At this stage, the Chinese leadership has yet to issue an Arctic strategy, although Chinese experts continue to debate their country’s interests and goals in the Arctic. U.S.-China relations in the Arctic have thus far been cooperative, but China’s growing economic and political ties with Arctic states bear scrutiny, especially in the context of heightened tensions between Russia, China’s strategic partner, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
