What use does China have for icebreakers?


To my knowledge, the Bohai Sea (the large bay between Beijing and North Korea basically) does freeze.


Their rivers freeze also, but I assume they are lambing to participate in arctic shipping routes, maybe the one above Siberia to get to Europe.


Military capability in the arctic for a potential US conflict in the future?


Antarctic activities I guess


Polar Silk Route (see the news link I posted above)
