Title: Why China Has Its Eyes Set On Greenland

In the past five years, Chinese acquisition firms have targeted transport hubs in Europe, such as the Greek port of Piraeus and the Belgian port of Zeebrugge. Chinese firms now control approximately 10 percent of cargo port space in Europe, according to data from the International Transport Forum.

Like elsewhere in Europe, "the big fear is that even a small Chinese investment will amount to a large part of Greenland's GDP, giving China an outsized influence that can be used for other purposes," said Jon Rahbek-Clemmensen, an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defence College's Institute for Strategy.
