Opportunities,Challenges and Countermeasures Brought by Development of Arctic Shipping Routes to China
Global warming has led to changes in the natural environment and ecosystem.Countries around the world are full of expectations for the development of potential resources and pay increasing attention to the Arctic Circle.From the historical opportunity of opening new trade routes,expanding ports to develop the new economy and building a new pattern of international trade through the Arctic shipping routes,partici-pating in the development of the Arctic shipping routes is in line with China's development interests.How-ever,the development of the Arctic shipping routes is a game of great powers.After the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis,the US and European countries imposed increased sanctions against Russia,and the Arctic Council faced a crisis of suspension of events.The US and Russia have alternately conducted large-scale military exercises in the Arctic,leading to increased uncertainties for regional security.These unfavorable factors have made it difficult for China to participate in the development the Arctic shipping routes.Under the current new circumstances,China can engage in exchanges and cooperation with the Arctic countries in strengthening China's voice in Arctic governance,bolstering policy leadership,enhancing international coope-ration and exchanges,adhering to the principle of sustainable development,and conducting cooperation on navigation safety in the Arctic shipping routes,to actively promote the development of the Arctic shipping routes.
