  <title>What is China doing in the Arctic?</title>
  <description> Countries across the globe are increasingly focused&amp;amp;nbsp;on&amp;amp;nbsp;the Arctic due to&amp;amp;nbsp;its&amp;amp;nbsp;expanding shipping routes, vast natural resources, and&amp;amp;nbsp;cutting-edge&amp;amp;nbsp;scientific research opportunities.&amp;amp;nbsp;China views&amp;amp;nbsp;the Arctic&amp;amp;nbsp;as a critical new frontier for its economic and&amp;amp;nbsp;geostrategic&amp;amp;nbsp;opportunities.&amp;amp;nbsp;Since China&amp;amp;nbsp;isn’t&amp;amp;nbsp;geographically&amp;amp;nbsp;located&amp;amp;nbsp;in the Arctic, it must&amp;amp;nbsp;work&amp;amp;nbsp;with other nations, like&amp;amp;nbsp;Russia, to achieve its aims&amp;amp;nbsp;in the region.&amp;amp;nbsp;However, Chinese&amp;amp;nbsp;engagement&amp;amp;nbsp;in the Arctic&amp;amp;nbsp;has been&amp;amp;nbsp;met with skepticism, especially from&amp;amp;nbsp;the United States and&amp;amp;nbsp;European nations weary of&amp;amp;nbsp;China’s relationship with Russia&amp;amp;nbsp;and&amp;amp;nbsp;the impact of China’s&amp;amp;nbsp;economic activity&amp;amp;nbsp;on their own industries.&amp;amp;nbsp;  Elizabeth Wishnick joined us on June 6,&amp;amp;nbsp;2026&amp;amp;nbsp;to discuss China’s economic and security interests in the Arctic and&amp;amp;nbsp;China’s reception in the region.&amp;amp;nbsp; Click here to read the speaker's bio and watch the YouTube video. </description>
