Is China a Russia-allied Arctic threat or polar partner for Europe?
Original: Is China a Russia-allied Arctic threat to Europe or a potential polar partner?
Debate is growing in Europe over how to read China's expanding role in the Arctic, where Beijing has strengthened cooperation with Russia, a fellow observer in the Arctic Council. Some European policymakers see the China-Russia alignment as a security threat to the region, while others argue China could be a partner on polar research, shipping routes and climate matters. The question of whether to engage or contain Beijing in the far north remains unresolved.
Why now: China's deepening Arctic cooperation with Russia has raised fresh security and policy questions in Europe.
