What is China’s Interest in the Arctic?
China is an observer in the Arctic Council, which may seem a bit odd. After all, we have a country with no territory beyond the Arctic Circle, or a grand history of Arctic exploration, as part of an Arctic governance institution for Arctic countries. The Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC), for example, does not allow non-Asian Pacific countries to be official observers – and yet, the Arctic Council gives non-Arctic states a seat at the table.
