Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Arctic Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on September 15, 2017, and transitioned some of our coverage to Oceans Deeply, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on the Arctic. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

China has begun to refer to itself as a near-Arctic state. It is an observer at the Arctic Council and has a number of scientific endeavors in the Arctic. Although China has growing economic interests in the region, scientific diplomacy will continue to lead its interests in the Arctic.
