JONATHON LUDWIG: China’s January 25th unveiling of the “Polar Silk Road”
has created a wonderful opportunity for Northern development not seen
for decades. This opportunity not only
extends China’s incredibly successful growth model to North America,
through a revolutionized system of arctic shipping, and infrastructure
development, but also provides for a new spirit of diplomacy founded not
upon militarization of the Arctic as desired by neo-con utopian
throwbacks of the Cheney and Obama eras, but rather cooperation,
respect, development and trust.
