Commercial, strategic, and scientific motivations drive China’s growing interests in the Arctic. Russia, an Arctic power, has simultaneously been a reluctant partner and competitor to China in the region. However, with the war in Ukraine and Russia’s increasing dependence on China as its primary strategic and diplomatic partner and its main economic lifeline, China’s leverage over Russia is likely to increase in the region.
The China-Russia Program at the Asia Society Policy Institute’s Center of China Analysis (CCA) is convening a panel to discuss the evolving dynamics of cooperation and competition between China and Russia in the Arctic. This event will feature leading academics from Norway and the United States to assess China’s engagement in the Arctic, including its ongoing collaboration with Russia, and explore its broader implications for Norway, Europe and the United States.
The panel features Jo Inge Bekkevold, Senior China Fellow at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies/Norwegian Defence University College; Katarzyna Zysk, Professor of International Relations and Contemporary History at the Norwegian Institute for Defence Studies; and Elizabeth Wishnick, Senior Research Scientist in the China and Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Division at the Center for Naval Analyses and Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University. The discussion will be moderated by Lyle J. Morris, CCA Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security. Jing Qian, CCA Co-Founder and Managing Director, will give introductory remarks.
The event is a collaboration between CCA and the Norwegian Consulate General in New York.
Breakfast will be served from 8 a.m. The program starts at 8:30 a.m.
