Abstract

In 2018 The People’s Republic of China (PRC) released its Arctic policy and articulated its position, principles, and goals as a “near-Arctic state.”  In the years since, China has become a central focus of the growing academic and professional discourse surrounding the emerging Arctic and has positioned itself as a consequential actor in regional affairs. This article examines the opportunities and limitations for China in the High North by focusing on its four key drivers for Arctic engagement: resource extraction, international shipping, scientific pursuits, and international prestige. This article finds that while China’s involvement in Arctic affairs is growing, there are still significant roadblocks to its ambitions which it will need to overcome in order to reach its goal of being recognized as an Arctic power.
中国与21世纪的北极:机遇与局限
2018年,中华人民共和国发布了其北极政策,并阐明了其作为“近北极国家”的立场、原则和目标。自那以后的几年里,中国已成为围绕新兴北极的日益增长的学术和专业讨论的中心焦点,并将自己定位为地区事务中的重要参与者。本文通过关注中国参与北极活动的四个关键驱动因素:资源开采、国际航运、科学追求和国际声望,探讨了中国在高北地区的机遇和局限性。这篇文章发现,尽管中国对北极事务的参与越来越多,但为了实现被公认为北极大国的目标,中国的雄心仍有重大障碍需要克服。
