The Polar Silk Road:China's Arctic Ambitions
The WIlson Center presents, as part of its Ground Truth Breifings series, a panel on growing Chinese influence in the Artic regions.
When:
February 6, 2018 2:00am to 3:00am
Where
On January 26, 2018, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Kong Xuanyou unveiled “China’s Arctic Policy.” The country’s self-classification as a Near-Arctic State is an important step in the region’s development, and when combined with other objectives indicates rising Chinese ambitions in Arctic affairs. How does a Polar Silk Road align with the more expansive Belt and Road Initiative? What opportunities and risks does China’s aspirations in the Arctic present for the U.S., the region, and the globe?
In this Ground Truth Briefing, five regional experts will discuss China’s emerging Arctic presence.
