What is it about?
This article explores U.S.-China relations in the Arctic. It particularly discusses three issue areas where China and the United States could develop trust and cooperation in the Arctic: (1) the freedom of navigation in the Arctic Ocean, (2) the implementation of new science-based Arctic treaties, and (3) Alaska-China economic relations.

Why is it important?
This article enriches the existing literature on U.S.-China relations in the Arctic. It answers questions as to how the new U.S.-China competition would affect the Arctic and what the effects of ongoing U.S.-China tensions in other regions on China’s engagement in the Arctic are. Especially, if U.S.-China Arctic cooperation is optimal and feasible, what are the good opportunities and major constraints on the collaboration?
Perspectives
I hope this article helps the readers understand the new developments in the Arctic, geopolitics in the region, and the US-China relations in the Arctic and beyond.
