Description
Summary:The article examines the Chinese engagement in the Arctic, with specific focus on large-scale mineral and infrastructure projects in Greenland. Providing an important financial basis for potential Greenlandic independence, these projects also have significant environmental, geostrategic, and political reverberations. This leaves a complex geopolitical context in which Greenland will have to navigate interactions with China cautiously on its path to self-determination. O artigo examina o envolvimento chinês no Ártico, com foco específico em projetos de infraestrutura e minerais em grande escala na Groenlândia. Fornecendo uma base financeira importante para a independência potencial da Groenlândia, esses projetos também têm repercussões ambientais, geoestratégicas e políticas significativas. Isso deixa um contexto geopolítico complexo no qual a Groenlândia terá que navegar com cautela nas interações com a China em seu caminho para a autodeterminação.
