Arctic Policy of China is China's foreign relations with Arctic countries, and the Chinese government's attitudes and actions on issues occurring within the geographic boundaries of "the Arctic" or related to the Arctic or its peoples. As of 2010, Chinese leaders promote cautious Arctic policies so as to not provoke negative responses from the Arctic states. At the same time China is trying to position itself not to be excluded from access to the Arctic. China appears particularly wary of Russia’s Arctic intentions. Chinese observers have noted Russia’s decision to resume bomber flights over the Arctic and the planting of a Russian flag on the Arctic seabed, both in August 2007.〔(China Prepares for an Ice-Free Arctic )〕 As of March, 2012, there was no authoritative statement of policy from the Chinese government on the Arctic, although Chinese scientists and academics increasingly are active in the region, and suggesting policies for the nation.〔(FU.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Staff Research Report )〕 ==Arctic Council Permanent Observer Status== China has been an observer of the Arctic Council since May 2013.〔(Twelve non-arctic countries have been admitted as observers to the Arctic Council ) the Arctic Council 〕〔 At the 2009 ministerial meeting in Tromsø, China requested Permanent Observer status. The request was denied at least partly because members could not agree on the role of Observer States. In 2011, the Arctic Council clarified its criteria for admission of observers, most notably including a requirement of applicants to "recognize Arctic States’ sovereignty, sovereign rights and jurisdiction in the Arctic" and "recognize that an extensive legal framework applies to the Arctic Ocean including, notably, the Law of the Sea, and that this framework provides a solid foundation for responsible management of this ocean".〔 China's request was approved at the next Arctic Council ministerial meeting in May 2013.〔("Snow dragons: As the Arctic melts, Asia shudders at the risks but slavers at the opportunities" ) The Economist〕 Permanent observer status would allow presentation of their perspective, but not voting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arctic policy of China」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
