Die Chinesen machen das etwas subtiler.
Kurz gesagt: Die Chinesen sind schon da, Grönland will mehr davon, Dänemark findet das irgendwie nicht so gut, kann aber nichts machen (außer Gelder kürzen, worauf Drittländer nur warten)

"China ... has started calling itself a "near-Arctic" power, even though Beijing is almost 3,000km (1,800 miles) from the Arctic Circle. It has bought or commissioned several ice-breakers - including nuclear-powered ones - to carve out new routes for its goods through the Arctic ice.

And it is eyeing Greenland as a particularly useful way-station on its polar silk road.

At present you can only fly to Nuuk in small propeller-driven planes. In four years, though, that will change spectacularly.
The Greenlandic government has decided to build three big international airports capable of taking large passenger jets.
China is bidding for the contracts.

"China's interest in Greenland can be found through an Australian company of the same name, Greenland Minerals, which has Shenghe Resources Holdings as its largest shareholder with a 11% stake.
...
Shenghe is a leading producer of rare earths in China and has acquired its stake in Greenland Minerals as a future potential source of the elements which find their way into multiple technologies, especially electric motors, as well as certain military applications such as rocket guidance systems."
