Rich in data and vividly written, this book depicts the complex and ever-changing geography and unique socio-cultural environment of the regions along the Polar Silk Road (PSR). It also elaborates on the current status and development outlook of the PSR. Within the context of global climate change, this book proposes a strategy for China and other parties to jointly build the PSR. For those who seek to understand China, this brilliantly written book decodes China's relationship with the Arctic and is a timely release keeping abreast of the development needs of our time.As a supplement to the BRI, the PSR is conducive to building a "community with a shared future for mankind." Moreover, it cames forward and advances the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations. As a near-Arctic state and an observer of the Arctic Council, China has the responsibility and obligation to participate in Arctic governance, and is expected to play its role as a responsible power. In the face of environmental changes in the Arctic, China's initiative to jointly build the PSR is an affirmation of the Chinese people's commitment to serving all mankind.
