Greenland becomes the US military's watchtower on China in the Arctic

Original: Keep out: why Greenland is the US military’s new eyes in the Arctic on China

The United States is strengthening its military presence in Greenland as part of a wider effort to monitor Chinese activity in the Arctic. The island's strategic location between North America and Europe makes it increasingly valuable for early-warning radar and surveillance as great-power competition spreads to the polar region. Analysts point to growing Chinese interest in Arctic shipping routes and resources as the driving concern behind Washington's moves.

Why now: Rising US-China strategic rivalry is extending to the Arctic, putting Greenland's military role in the spotlight.
