Abstract Having issued China's Arctic policy, the Chinese government has demonstrated its position, policy and responsibility to participate in Arctic governance and the joint efforts to meet global challenges. The Arctic policy embodies the philosophy of “the shared future of mankind”. Goals and basic principles of China's Arctic policy mainly stem from the basic concepts of Chinese diplomacy, the discretion over the world development trends, the identification of identity and the recognition of primary contradictions of Arctic affairs. As a state geopolitically near the Arctic, China is an important stakeholder in the Arctic affairs. Advantages in diplomacy, economy, technology and market capacity will help China play an active role in maintaining Arctic security, exploiting the Arctic resources sustainably and balancing the interests of the Arctic states and the rest of world.
