China's Polar Frontiers Ep2: The Arctic

Last year, China published its Arctic Policy white paper, positioning itself as a stakeholder in Arctic governance and making waves internationally as countries tried to understand China's intentions. Why is China so interested in the Arctic region? And how do the impact of warmer temperatures and climate change shift China's priorities in the North Pole? From Belt and Road initiatives to bans on fishing, China performs a delicate balancing act working with the sovereign nations of the Arctic.
