Recommendations
¦ The Greenlandic and Danish governments must handle China’s intersecting business and political interests without straining the relationship between Nuuk and Copenhagen.

¦ Denmark and Greenland will have to manage not only growing Chinese investments, but also how the US chooses to push back against China’s interests.

¦ For now, at least, mining represents an oppor­tunity to attract Chinese investment without alienating the US, but it will continue to generate strong local tensions.

China’s growing interest in Greenland is being followed closely in the US and is putting a strain on the relationship between the Danish and Greenlandic
governments.

Chinese investments in the Arctic have been the subject of much interest and debate among experts and policy-makers, especially since the publication this year of China’s Arctic Policy. The question is sometimes framed as a dichotomy: does China have legitimate scientific and business interests in the Arctic region, or is it seeking geopolitical influence? The answer is probably both.

In Greenland, two large infrastructure projects are currently in the spotlight because of Chinese
participation:

1. the prequalification of a bid by Chinese construction giant China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) to construct and expand three new Greenlandic airports.

2. the Kuannersuit/Kvanefjeld rare earth elements (REE) mining project in Narsaq, partly owned by Chinese trading, mining and REE production giant Shenghe Resources.
