Abstract In the context of increasingly globalized Antarctic governance, countries that are actively involved in the Antarctic affairs attach great importance to their national interests. As a member of the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties, our national security and development interests endowed in Antarctic are continually formed based on active participation in the Antarctic affairs. China’s governance status and relevant governance advocacy in the Antarctic, the simultaneous growth of national capacity and responsibility, and the dual needs of national security and development constitute main reasons for the formation and maintenance of national security interests of China in the Antarctic. With the indepth development of participation stage of Antarctic affairs, China has gradually formed an operable national security interest system, developed from the patterns characterized by potential, pertinent, interrelated and cooperative, which become an important part of China’s overall national security interests. We must adhere to the implementation of the holistic approach to national security in the ongoing participation in Antarctic governance, pay attention to external learning and international cooperation, and further strengthen support of technology, equipment, personnel, legislation, institutional mechanisms and so on involved in the Antarctic affairs, to maximize the maintenance and promotion of China’s national security interests in the Antarctic.
