The Research on the Recent Trend of Safeguarding the Rights and Interests of Arctic Indigenous Peoples and China's Response Based on National Arctic Strategy Documents
Due to global warming,the competition among countries in the Arctic region has be-come increasingly fierce.Arctic indigenous peoples have now become an important target for various countries to win over,and updating the policies on indigenous rights protection in national Arctic stra-tegic documents is the main means.Among the Arctic countries,Russia,Canada and the United States,which have the highest proportion of indigenous peoples,have updated their original strategic documents in recent years.The content of the new documents on indigenous peoples has not only been greatly expanded and specified,but the key change is that the content has gained a strategic core posi-tion compared with the past.Although the Arctic Council observer states are located outside the Arc-tic region,they also express their concern for indigenous rights by revising their strategic documents.Its prominent feature is to try to shape themselves as contributors or needed parties in the Arctic re-gion through different angles or areas of strength.Under the above situation,China may consider up-dating its original strategy in due course.Not only should the relevant content be expanded and more specific measures be proposed,but attention should also be paid to combining the immediate needs of indigenous peoples with China's areas of strength,as well as noticing the movements of South Korea and Japan on related issues and promoting joint cooperation when necessary.
