China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland
China and Canada agree on upholding Greenland’s sovereignty while analysts warn of growing Russia-China military ties and dual-use Arctic research raising security concerns.
- On Jan. 24, 2026 Chinese Ambassador Wang Di said Beijing and Ottawa see eye to eye on supporting Greenland's territorial integrity during a Jan. 21, 2026 Ottawa interview.
- Analysts said Beijing has reduced its investment push and refocused on research after Arctic states reversed earlier openness, Jennifer Spence said Tuesday.
- Canada's late-2024 Arctic foreign policy document warns China seeks shipping access and resource exploitation including critical minerals, gas and fish, while Chinese research vessels raise concerns as `dual-use` amid advances in undersea technology and space capabilities.
- Ottawa has welcomed limited climate cooperation but remains wary, and Elizabeth Wishnick urged Ottawa and Washington to boost Norad radar in Greenland, saying `That would deal with the actual threat, which is hypersonic missiles- not Russian and Chinese vessels circling the territory.`
- Amid NATO tensions over Greenland, Wang Di urged China and Canada to jointly safeguard international fairness and justice, citing UN principles as Beijing reduces use of `near-Arctic state` terminology.
