I honestly thought about this scenario couple of years back when reading about Russia and Canada possibly benefiting from climate change as their northern areas thaw and become forests and farmlands.
China can fight every other country in the pacific over an insignificant speck of island, or, they could actually grow their boundaries in a way that offers northwest passage access.

it’s been on mind for a while.
China can fight every other country in the pacific over an insignificant speck of island, or, they could actually grow their boundaries in a way that offers northwest passage access.
Insignificant speck allows economic rights over thousands of sq km of fishing waters with oil reserves.
If they can take and hold it. Something tells me the countries lined up in opposition may dispute those desires lol
South Korea Japan Indonesia Philippines Brunei Vietnam Malaysia Australia US Canada
singapore, thailand and many others will probably have an opinion if things heat up.
vs.
China and maaaybe north korea if they can get their shit together and prioritize anything above sending ditch meat to russia
That is not a fast process. Plus solar insolation won’t change. It won’t make up for the losses in the USA.
