Age old problem of Government. In particular Government reliant on elected Officials. How do you keep an elected official accountable and loyal? Especially when sums of money that are enough to live quite comfortably on if not luxuriously on until you die start being thrown around?
China doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's natural access to the Arctic Ocean is through the Bering Strait, controlled by both Russia and the United States. In order to go through the Greenland Sea, it would already have to transit the Indian Ocean and either pass through the Suez Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope---which would be the result of not using the Arctic Ocean at all. Russia is the only Arctic competitor that makes sense. Canada is a weak ally, and Greenland/Denmark is weaker. The Norwegians are probably stronger than the Danes, but not by much.
Someone wants to be Chyna Whore ?
