The Chinese communist regime launched an Arctic shipping route to Europe on Tuesday, state media reported on Sept. 22, renewing world attention to its “Polar Silk Road” ambitions.
The container line Sea Legend sent its first ship, the Istanbul Bridge, through the Arctic’s North Sea Route (NSR), from the Ningbo Zhoushan Port in eastern Zhejiang Province to the UK’s Port of Felixstowe, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency.
