以下为发言英文版
China's research on the Arctic is actually a latecomer. In 2018, China launched its first white paper on Arctic policy. Compared with China's research on the Antarctic, the deep sea and other regions outside the near earth space, China's observation and Research on the Arctic are obviously insufficient, at least 20 years later than the Antarctic.
In 1999, China sent its first expedition to the Arctic, and in 2008 China begin to strengthen social science research in the Arctic. It should be said that China is a latecomer to Arctic research and cooperation. At present, we are still at the stage of knowledge accumulation, and we should learn from Russia, the United States, Norway and other countries.
However, we think that the Arctic is like a canary in a coal mine. The climate system, environment and ecosystem in the Arctic are sensitive to changes and pre-emptive. China is located in the lower reaches of the Arctic climate system. If the Arctic environment is damaged, it will have an impact on climate change in northern China, so in recent years, China has begun to invest in the research of Arctic sea ice and forecast those disastrous weather.
In recent years, China's Arctic research strength and investment and development capacity have been greatly improved. For example, investment and development in the Arctic region need to be carried out in the polar permafrost environment to a great extent. China has mastered some advanced and unique technologies, because of the construction of infrastructure such as the Qinghai Tibet railway, China has the technology and experience to construct buildings, roads and pipelines in permafrost regions.
For example, China has an advantageous position in shipbuilding and port construction. For example, in Kamchatka, dredging projects are completed by Chinese companies. Next, China will further strengthen strategic investment in the design and construction of ships in the ice zone, navigation, crew training and other aspects, and will also increase cooperation with Arctic countries on some specific projects.
In recent years, global warming has accelerated the melting of ice and snow in the Arctic, and the Arctic passage has become more and more valuable.
In China's view, the value of the Arctic in strategy, economy, scientific research, environmental protection, navigation channels, resources and other aspects has been constantly improving, which has attracted universal attention from the international community.
At this time, by strengthening dialogue and exchanges on Arctic issues, China has actually reduced mutual suspicion and compressed the space for the "China Threat Theory" to spread in the Arctic. This will not only help remove the barriers for Chinese enterprises and local governments to enter the Arctic market, but also distract the diplomatic focus of major powers and enrich and balance the existing diplomatic relations between major powers.
In short, the objectives of China's Arctic policy are to understand, protect, utilize and participate in the governance of the Arctic, safeguard the common interests of all countries and the international community in the Arctic, and promote sustainable development in the Arctic.
