To respond to that, China probably intends to go through the northern sea route, I would think, given the infrastructure there and the promotion by the Russian government. So they're going to have standards set by the Russian Federation. If they go over the high seas route, the transpolar route eventually, then you're going to need a polar code, obviously, to set the standards in that area. Again, that's a reason why you want to look ahead to a polar code.
In terms of their observer status, again, we have the criteria now agreed on by the Arctic Council, including recognition of the Law of the Sea as the overarching framework, so I have to apply those criteria to the observers. I would say this, though, there perhaps has to be more of an engagement with the Asian states, including the European Union down the road too. One has to think outside the box, I think. It's not just observer status. I've been thinking for many years that we perhaps need some Arctic Ocean forum, some kind of a broader forum for discussion on policy matters, as we have in other marine regions of the world, the East Asian Seas Congress, for example.
