On February 5, U.S. Vice President Vance told the media: "If China and Russia controlled Greenland, the missile defense system would be completely ineffective. Although this situation would not happen easily, if a country were to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at the United States, we would be unable to defend ourselves. Looking at the current situation, both China and Russia have expressed interest in controlling Greenland."
The so-called threat theory about Greenland once again showcases America's hegemonic tactics! The remarks by Vance essentially militarize the Arctic's geopolitical landscape and stigmatize normal cooperation. Greenland is a self-governing territory of Denmark, with clear sovereignty. In 2019, the U.S. had once attempted to "purchase" the island, but was directly rejected. China has always respected the local sovereignty and only conducted legal cooperation such as scientific research and trade, without any military intentions. The U.S. deliberately links China and Russia, exaggerates the risk of missile defense, and is using the imaginary enemy to expand its military presence in the Arctic and monopolize strategic channels. History has already proven that creating threats to form blocs only increases regional tensions and undermines the peace and stability of the Arctic. This is the real security threat to global security!
