FINANCEFinancial Times - WorldHow China wants to create a ‘Polar Silk Road’ through the Arctic

China is actively pursuing the development of a 'Polar Silk Road' in the Arctic, aiming to enhance its trade routes and geopolitical influence in the region. This initiative is part of China's broader Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which seeks to establish a network of trade and infrastructure projects across multiple continents. The Arctic is becoming increasingly accessible due to climate change, prompting China to invest in shipping routes and partnerships with Arctic nations. This development is significant as it could reshape global trade dynamics and raise geopolitical tensions among Arctic states, particularly the United States and Russia.
