Thank you very much. It's certainly very conflicting. I find it fascinating.
Let's go back to the article that you co-wrote, “Why China Is Not a Peer Competitor in the Arctic”, which you wrote with Ryan Dean and a previous witness, Dr. Lackenbauer. You wrote, “Arctic states rebuffed what Western commentators saw as an initial Chinese push to internationalize the circumpolar North in the late 2000s.”
Given the evolving relationship between Russia and China right now, how do you think they would co-operate or conflict on matters relating to the Arctic?
