중국의 그린랜드 공항건설 시도와, 희토류 개발상황, 덴마크의 이누이트 멸종작전

[하토브.]

POLITICS GREENLAND DENAMARK 28 JAN 2026

세계 언론들은 트럼프가 영토 야욕과 희토류를 장악하려는 야욕 때문에

그린랜드를 합병하려 한다고 합니다. 또한 덴마크와 독일 등의 유럽 여러나라 들은 트럼프의 그린랜드 병합 추진을 비난하고 있습니다.

그런데 다음 영상에서 보시는 바와같이 덴마크는 1950-60년대에 덴마크인들을 멸종시키려고 덴마크 여성들에게 불임수술을 하다가 4500명인 절반만 행하고 중간에 중단했습니다. 아마도 내부적인 반대가 있었던 것으로 보입니다.

또 덴마크 어린이들을 데려다가 현지 이누이트 언어를 사용하지 않고 덴마크어만 사용하도록 세뇌교육시켜 돌려보내자 부모들과 자녀들이 대화를 할수 없고 사고방식이 전혀 다르게 되어 학생들이 마약으로 빠지게 되었다는 주장들이 많이 제기되어 왔습니다.

트럼프가 그린랜드 합병의지를 발표하자, 덴마크는 작년8월에야 자기들이 저지른 그린랜드인들에 대한 잔학행위에 대해 사과하였습니다.

과거에 그린랜드 이누이트를 멸종시키려 했던 덴마크는 그린랜드에서 손을 떼고 그후에 그린랜드인들이 자기들의 운명에 대해 스스로 결정하도록 놓아두어야 할 것으로 보입니다.

또하나 트럼프 정부에 대해 비판하는 사람들은 그가 희토류등의 자원들에 탐이 나서 그린랜드를 취하려 한다고 비난합니다.

그런데 지난 20여년간 중국은 엄청난 노력을 기울여 그린랜드에 투자하고 교두보를 마련하려고 애써왔습니다.

그리하여 2018년에는 그린랜드에 공항을 건설하려고 자금 지원도 제안했으며 사진 심사 서류도 제출하였는데 덴마크의 항의가 있자 2019년 철회하였습니다.

그런데 희토류 개발은 세계적으로 중국이 압도적으로 독점하는 수준에 있기 때문에, 그리고 그 개발 자금을 충분히 대줄수 있는 나라는 중국이므로, 현재 희토류 개발이 진행되고 있으며 중국이 자금과 기술을 지원하고 있습니다.

이런 상황에서 미국이 그린랜드를 취하고 싶다고 하자, 세계 언론들은 트럼프 정부에 대한 비방을 엄청 쏟아붓고 있습니다.

그동안 중국이 그린랜드를 야금 야금 취하려고 접근해온 것은 괜찮고, 미국이 그린랜드에 투자 개발하려하자, 세계가 발광하고 있습니다.

이것은 베네주엘라와 마찬가지입니다. 원래 베네수엘라의 정유공장들은 미국 회사들 소유였는데 챠베스 대통령이 미국 회사들을 국유화 시켜 빼앗았습니다. 그런 다음에 돈이 궁하여지자, 자기네 지분을 중국에 팔고, 자금을 빌려와서 사실상 중국 회사로 만들어 놓았습니다.

언론들은 트럼프가 석유가 탐이 나서 석유를 취하려고 마두로를 체포했다고 합니다.

이 또한, 베네수엘라가 미국 회사를 국유화하여 중국에 팔아넘길 때는 조용하고 괜찮았는데

미국이 다시 그것을 취하려 하자, 언론들은 발광하고 있습니다.

유엔과 한국 언론, 미국 언론들, 유럽언론들은 주권국가를 침공해서 주권을 침해했다고 트럼프를 비난합니다. 그런데 그들은 그동안 베네수엘라가 미국으로 마약을 밀수출한 것은 보도하지 않거나 유엔에서도 지적하지 않습니다.

베네수엘라가 미국회사 빼앗아서 중국에 넘겨주는 것은 괜찮고, 그것을 되찾는 것은 나쁘다고 비난해야 하겠습니까?

베네수엘라가 미국에 마약을 수출하여 많은 사람들이 마약으로 죽어가게 하는 것은 괜찮은 일입니까? 그것의 최고 책임자가 마두로입니다.

베네수엘라 마약 밀수출선을 단속한 결과 미국내 마약값이 3배 이상으로 올랐습니다.

또 베네수엘라 내에 중국군 고문관 200명이 주둔해 잇고, 마두로 생포 전날 중국의 시진핑 특사가 방문하여 마두로와 회담하는등 많은 군사 협력이 중국=베네수엘라간에 있고 언잰가는 베네수엘라에 중국이 미사일들을 설치해놓을 수도 있었을 것입니다.그런 것에 대한 대응이라는 점에서는 한국언론이 보도하지 않은 것으로 보입니다.

세계 언론들은 복음주의 진영에 대해 은근히 비방과 공격을 준비하고 있습니다.

China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), a state-owned Chinese firm, had expressed interest in building and financing new airports in Greenland, sparking international concern in 2018.  The project, estimated at $560 million, aimed to modernize key air infrastructure in Nuuk, Ilulissat, and Qaqortoq.  However, Denmark, a close U.S. ally, raised security concerns, fearing Chinese involvement could threaten the strategic U.S. Thule Air Base, which plays a critical role in missile warning and Arctic surveillance. 

In response to pressure from Denmark and the U.S., Greenland’s government agreed to a deal where Denmark would finance a significant portion of the project—700 million Danish kroner ($109 million)—in exchange for a 33% stake in the state-owned airport operator, Kalaallit Airports.  This arrangement effectively reduced the need for foreign financing and diminished the likelihood of Chinese involvement.

On June 4, 2019, CCCC officially withdrew its bid, citing that it would not be participating in the Nuuk and Ilulissat airport projects.  The withdrawal marked the end of China’s potential major role in Greenland’s airport expansion, though China continues to invest in Greenland’s mining and research sectors. 

Despite the withdrawal, China remains active in the Arctic, and the U.S. continues to monitor its influence closely.  In 2020, the U.S. contributed $12.1 million to Greenland’s airport development—far less than China’s initial $550 million offer—highlighting the geopolitical stakes involved.

A government-owned Chinese firm has put forward a bid to build a new airport in Greenland, which some analysts fear could threaten a vital U.S. Air Force base located in the country.

Home to only about 56,000 inhabitants, Greenland is a constituent country within the Kingdom of Denmark and relies heavily on air travel. As a result, the country's autonomous government is seeking to build a new airport, which will cost an estimated $560 million.

The China Communications Construction Company, which is owned by Beijing's government and was previously blacklisted by the World Bank, has put forward a bid to build the new airport, Defense News reported. Denmark, a close ally of the U.S., has objected to the proposal and maintains a final say on national security issues. But Greenland's local government has pushed back, insisting the Chinese bid receive serious consideration.

As China seeks greater control of trade routes around the world while expanding its influence in the Arctic region, some experts fear the potential Chinese investment could work to push out the U.S. Air Force's strategic Thule Air Base in Greenland.

"A Chinese presence in Greenland would complicate the U.S. position on the island— ultimately it is not impossible to imagine that China could pressure the Greenlandic government to ask the Americans to leave or demand permission to get a Chinese military or dual-use presence there," Jon Rahbek-Clemmensen, an associate professor at the Royal Danish Defence College's Institute for Strategy, told the military publication.

Danish officials are also worried about their constituent country's consideration of the bid. "We are deeply concerned. China has no business in Greenland," a high-ranking government official in Copenhagen told Reuters.

WASHINGTON — With less than 60,000 people spread across more than 830,000 square miles, Greenland relies heavily on air transport to move supplies and people up and down its coast.

So when the local government issued a solicitation to build three new airports, the move made sense from a business perspective. The project would be expensive, but would improve commerce and make life on the island easier for its residents.

Then a Chinese company — owned by the government in Beijing, and once blacklisted by the World Bank — put forth a bid, and a simple request for proposals transformed into a project with international diplomatic ramifications.

Denmark, which has final say on national security issues involving Greenland, objected. The government in Greenland then insisted China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), which has successfully worked on large infrastructure projects around the world, would remain one of its finalists for the projects, setting up intense negotiations between two governments.

All this comes as officials across Europe are raising alarm over whether Chinese economic influence on the continent is becoming a national security problem — with Danish officials specifically worried that the partly-government owned company’s interest in Greenland could have a lasting impact on a key American military base located there.

The Chinese “are players in the world economy, as are others, and should be treated equally. But we are on our guard,” Danish Defence Minister Claus Hjort Fredericksen said in a June 4 interview in his Copenhagen office.

“Of course, we welcome cooperation with China in the commercial field. As long as it has commercial purpose, we are not opposed to that. That is a normal way to expand world trade,” Fredericksen added. He spoke with reporters during a visit to Denmark arranged by the Atlantic Council. Defense News accepted travel and accommodations for the trip.

“But we are very careful looking at the issues if these installations may have other purposes, and that is what is causing trouble.

The Scandinavian nation has a treaty with the U.S. dating back to 1951, which grants Washington nearly unlimited rights to use Greenland's territory. Although the Danish government exercises control over the island's foreign and security policy, investment from foreign companies is a legal gray zone, according to the news agency. But Copenhagen, at Washington's urging, previously moved in 2016 to block a Chinese firm from purchasing a defunct marine station on the island.

The potential Chinese investment has also led to political tensions within Greenland. On Monday, the country was working to form a new government after the ruling coalition collapsed over disagreements on how to proceed with the airport and other infrastructure projects, Agence France-Presse reported. Naleraq, a left-wing party that seeks independence from Denmark, quit the government in protest over Copenhagen's efforts to participate financially in the project to thwart China.

RARE EARTH MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT

https://www.wionews.com/photos/rare-earths-and-arctic-security-how-is-china-involved-in-greenland-s-kvanefjeld-project-1768824625325/1768824625333

https://www.thearcticinstitute.org/tortuous-path-china-win-win-strategy-greenland/

China's involvement in Greenland's rare earth sector is primarily centered on the Kvanefjeld project, one of the world’s largest known rare earth deposits, which also contains significant uranium.  Chinese company Shenghe Resources, a state-affiliated firm, holds a 12.5% stake in the project and signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in 2018 to lead processing and marketing of extracted materials.  This partnership reflects China’s broader strategy to secure access to critical minerals, leveraging its dominance in rare earth processing and refining. 

However, the project has been stalled since 2021 after Greenland reinstated a ban on uranium mining, which triggered environmental and public health concerns.  Despite this, China remains interested due to its strategic value in global supply chains for green energy, defense, and high-tech industries. While direct mining operations are currently inactive, China’s influence persists through offtake and processing agreements, giving it indirect leverage over Greenland’s rare earth resources. 

The U.S. and EU view China’s presence as a geopolitical concern, particularly due to Arctic security implications. Greenland’s government has stated that while Western partnerships are preferred, without foreign investment, it may have to turn to non-Western partners like China to develop its mineral wealth.  Meanwhile, new projects like Tanbreez are being developed with Western investors to reduce reliance on Chinese control.
