["Science Diplomacy and Trust Building: ‘Science China’ in the Arctic", Accessible Online at: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1758-5899.12576] @ AG The sharing of infrastructures, resources and data Due to the Arctic's harsh natural conditions, scientists usually share research infrastructure and information. This cooperation generates an enduring web of formalized relationships between scientists and research institutions including, for instance, the Arctic Observing Network, the International Arctic Science Committee, the University of the Arctic, the Forum of Arctic Research Operators, the International Network for Terrestrial Research and Monitoring in the Arctic, the World Meteorological Organization, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, the Pacific Arctic Group, the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists, and the International Arctic Social Sciences Association. The 2017 Agreement on Enhancing International Arctic Scientific Cooperation supports cooperation on scientific activities, such as facilitating travel and the sharing of research platforms, materials, samples, data, equipment, research infrastructures and facilities. A small‐scale example is NyÅlesund Science Managers Committee that governs the shared research and laboratory infrastructure (NyÅlesund Science Managers Committee, 2016). Chinese scientists are members within most of these multilateral arrangements. China's own sharing activities in polar science can be traced back to the early 1980s. Its polar research was initiated by sending scientists to research programs shared by other states such as Australia, Chile and Japan. China shared its icebreaker and research resources while conducting thirty‐one China Antarctic Research Expeditions and other national Arctic research expeditions (Yang 2012). All Chinese Arctic research expeditions were open to international participants (Table 1). At the same time, Chinese scientists participated in the Arctic expeditions initiated by other countries. They have, for instance, engaged in joint glacier and permafrost research with Canadian scientists as well as ice core drilling research with scientists from Denmark and Greenland (He and Zhang, 2012). This sharing tradition was deepened by China's engagement in International Polar Year (IPY) 2007–2008. For instance, the IPY China program entailed the PANDA project (2007–2010) that set up thirty observation systems during four Antarctic expeditions in cooperation with Australia, Japan, UK and the US. Other projects were carried out in cooperation with scientists from the EU, Canada, Finland, France, Norway and the US (Yang 2012). Not only are China's research bases in Antarctica open to foreign researchers (Pomereu, 2008), they also share labour and data. Similarly, in the long‐term cooperation on toxic pollutants, Chinese institutes offer the best available measurement equipment while Norwegian researchers contribute their superior measurement experiences (Zhibo Lu, interview 31 May 2016). As sharing infrastructures and resources is not merely part of individual expeditions but a constant feature, Chinese science diplomacy in the region contributed to growing ‘procedural trust’ among all stakeholders.
