That's a good question.
Obviously, I think, the chairmanship at the Arctic Council provides that opportunity. As a function of the Arctic Council and the way it works, the way international law works, and the way the other institutions I mentioned work—the International Maritime Organization in particular—there's very little we can do on our own. If we're going to set new protocols, they need to be done in consultation with the countries that are going to follow those rules.
Some of the Chinese I spoke to simply stated that China is not going to follow rules that it wasn't invited to write. That's partly a function of a general.... The Chinese government does view the international system as one that it did not make, right? It has been emerging into the world over the last 30 years. It's learning the rules. It's following most of the rules. It's changing some of the rules. They are very cognizant of who writes the rules. They want to help make those rules.
I concede that they have responsibilities that they need to be more aware of, particularly on pollution, but if we try to hand them something a fait accompli, they'll simply ignore it. The scale of what I suspect they will be trying to achieve up there will be such that if they ignore it, the rules won't be worth the paper they're printed on, if they're printed at all.
