Region arktyczny jest jednym z obszarów zainteresowania Chin, na razie związany z ich polityką i gospodarką. Zauważając pojawiające się opcje, szczególnie w tej ostatniej dziedzinie, kraj ten poszukuje możliwości zapewnienia swoich interesów narodowych w perspektywie długoterminowej. Związane jest to z wykorzystaniem różnorodnych narzędzi do zaangażowania podmiotów regionalnych w sposób dwustronny i organizacyjny, bez angażowania wojskowego narzędzia władzy. Równolegle Chiny rozwijają technologie niezbędne do działania w Arktyce, pozwalając na konkurowanie z innymi graczami. Zajmują się również badaniami i inwestycjami w regionie. Zasoby naturalne, morskie linie komunikacyjne, możliwości połowowe są uznanymi czynnikami określającymi potencjał krajowych korzyści, a jest to możliwe tylko dzięki ugruntowanej obecności w wielu wymiarach.
