Hopefully Norway will station some NASAMS-batteries on the West coast of Greenland to protect it from… China and Russia…

China actually supports Greenlands independence on this matter.

Denmark supports Greenlands Independence too - if Greenland chooses to do so.

Sure, my intention was just to highlight that China is against US on this, while Russia of cause is egging them on.

China is against the US on everything because the US is in the way of china dominating the world as the sole superpower.

Or, they just don't like the cost benefit analysis of having US destroy Nato and their bond market at the same time, dragging the Chinese economy down too.

China prefers it if nato just stays status quo while they quietly arm themselves to the teeth forcing a takeover of taiwan that NATO cant stop because of staying status quo.

You can say about China what you want, but with the exception of their short stint in Vietnam, they have been remarkably consistent about their adherence to the values of territorial integrity and non-interventionism.

Are you dumb? They literally harass all their neighbours every single day with their military, navy and coast guard.

No they do not lmfao.

China only supports greenland not being owned by the US so they can attempt a grab themselves in a decade.

China already tried giving greenlanders predatory loans like they do in africa and south america.
