China wants a claim on the arctic? What???, page 1

And our sellout Canadian government is giving it to them apparently.

Commentary: China pivot -- or pirouette?

China also informed Canada last week that it wanted a seat at the arctic table, which means it seeks the same status as the eight countries whose territory lies within the Arctic Circle. It will be Canada's turn to chair the group in 2013.

What the hell???? China is NOWHERE NEAR the arctic! They have NO CLAIM AT ALL...

Harper is a TRAITOR if he backs China on this.

Seems to me they have no claim whatsoever and it is pretty wishful thinking to even bring this up.

Does anyone else besides me see the cluster-**** that is in the making here. This has the potential to get real ugly.

Well that's exactly why China wants in even if they have no claim at all.

Hopefully the other countries who have claims on the arctic call Harper on his BS and totally refuse this insanity.

This is nothing new. Weve discussed this a few times before except the location was the South China Sea area.

China has gone on this crusade to dig up as many territorial claims they can, in addition to pretending the treaties they signed with surrounding neighbors on territorial claims never occurred or are invalid.

Whats next - China demanding the US give up land in North America because a few thousand years ago they supposedly made it here first?

Maybe Taiwan should file a territorial claim on mainland China.

OMG!
The Chinese president visited Australia a few years ago and told our parliament that China had found and colonized Australia 300 years before the first fleet (Europeans) arrived. Will they use that card on us too just to get the land?
Btw China has also been trying to make claims in Antarctica where Australia owns a large portion of it.

Lake Vostok is in the Australian Antarctic Territory (south pole), this article is talking about China making claims in the Arctic (north pole).

Didn't i see you in another thread wishing the Americans would leave Australia, and inviting China in to be your "friend"? Weird little flip flop there..
