Conquering the Arctic: How China and Russia are joining forces

As the Arctic ice melts, a new Cold War is heating up. Russia and
China are rewriting the rules of global power, testing missiles,
flexing muscles, and pushing into the world’s last frontiers. A
294-metre container ship has just blazed through the Arctic route
from China to Europe in record time. If trade can flow through,
what’s to stop warships? Are we watching the start of a polar
power grab? Should NATO be bracing for a Chinese fleet in the
North Atlantic, or even Antarctica next? Military historian
Caroline Kennedy-Pipe and Arctic expert Dr Elizabeth Buchanan
plunge into the freezing front line to expose what’s really
happening beneath the ice.
