It’s appropriate that weather more typical of Greenland will be assaulting much of the continental United States as the nation is called to address a new front in Communist China’s unrestricted warfare against us – namely, the Arctic north.

Xi Jinping’s regime has absurdly, but ominously, asserted that China is a “near-Arctic nation.” It has been: sending nuclear submarines to execise under the polar icecap; using its large and growing fleet of icebreakers to facilitate PRC shipping via the so-called “Polar Silk Road”; and evincing growing interest in exploiting the region’s abundant natural resources.

And the Chinese Communist regime has just secured a “strategic partnership” with Canada that may result in the presence of People’s Liberation Army forces in North America.

This CPDC webinar explores the implications of such developments undertaken at the direction of the Chinese Communist Party and alongside parallel efforts of its vassal state, Russia. Specifically, we assess the necessity of securing Greenland and our northern front and what it will take to do so.
