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.
That is not a fast process. Plus solar insolation won’t change. It won’t make up for the losses in the USA.
