Beijing Slams US for Using Russia, China to Serve Its Own Arctic Interests
BEIJING (Sputnik) – China has criticized the United States for using Russia and China as a pretext to advance its own strategic interests in the Arctic, a senior Chinese diplomat said Monday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning made the remarks during a regular press briefing, responding to recent proposals from Western officials to strengthen NATO cooperation in the Arctic region.
"We do not agree that the United States uses China or Russia as an excuse to advance its own interests," Mao stressed.
On Sunday, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul offered US President Donald Trump to work together within NATO to counter the "threats" of Russia and China in the Arctic.
Earlier in an interview Mao said that China is an important stakeholder in Arctic affairs and "always follows the basic principles of respect, cooperation, win-win result and sustainability in engaging in Arctic affairs and enhancing cooperation with various parties."
China is committed to promoting peace, stability and sustainable development of the Arctic, she emphasized.
The remarks reflect growing geopolitical attention on the Arctic, where climate change is opening new shipping lanes and access to natural resources, intensifying competition among global powers.
