metadata.value: The article, in the context of the contemporary status of the Arctic, examines the legal and
  political documents adopted by China, Japan and South Korea in regard to their arctic policy,
  including those agreed upon by these three States. The alarming reaction to such documents
  in the Arctic coastal states, firstly, in the USA and Canada, is also considered in the article.
  Relevant western scholars’ arguments are scrutinized, such as the increase of “China’s military power”; China’s “insatiable appetite” for access to natural resources in the Arctic; the argument
  that “China seeks to dominate” the Arctic and the situation when “the Arctic Council is
  split”; the notion that China makes other non-Arctic States create separate legal documents
  concerning the regime of the Arctic Ocean. The article concludes that the western interpretation
  of such documents is alarming only in relation to China. The research shows that up till
  now there are no grounds for such estimations of China’s negative role. However, statements
  by Chinese officials as cited in the article and some provisions stipulated in “China’s Arctic
  policy” contradict the common will of the Arctic coastal states in regard to the legal regime
  of the Arctic Ocean as reflected in the Ilulissat Declaration of 2008. In such a dynamic legal
  environment, new instruments of collaboration are in demand, which might involve China
  and other non-Arctic states in maintaining the established legal regime of the Arctic. Thus, the
  new instruments would deter the creation (with unpredictable consequences) by China, Japan
  and South Korea of new trilateral acts relating to the status of the Arctic.
