>>13714309they released their policies on the artic some years ago. the tl;dr, they larp as an "near artic state" and want a foot in the artic. There's a conflict of interest since it's not possible to envisage that china would want to strip out part of the sovereignity of russia to get a better grip of this route. Until recently with european and american sanction, as far I can tell putin usually oppose the involvement of china in the artic. Since I'm in Canada I tend to care about that. I hope that traditional player of the artic doesn't get abused by larger player. We're at the mercy of the USA, but we have no doubt that everything we do will be mutual benefit with the US. The US federal let us do business with their state as if we were one.
