China wants in on the Arctic Council. And the council appears to be warming to the idea.
HONG KONG — As rising temperatures melt ice caps and uncover previously inaccessible natural resources and sea routes, the Arctic has caught the attention of countries near and far — not least the world’s second-biggest economic power, China.
