De afgelopen drie maanden varen Chinese schepen naar Europa over een opvallend nieuw traject: de Noordelijke IJszeeroute. Die loopt duizenden kilometers door bar koud, onherbergzaam noordpoolgebied. Normaal gezien in het najaar alleen bevaarbaar met nucleaire ijsbrekers, niet met commerciële containerschepen. Maar de klimaatopwarming maakt het nu tóch mogelijk.
Waarom zijn deze testvaarten over de IJszee zo belangrijk voor China? Moeten we in Europa opletten dat we de boot niet missen? En wat dan met die geopolitiek lastige speler langs wiens kust de route loopt: Rusland?
In deze Extra-aflevering van De 7 praten host Roan Van Eyck en Tijd-journaliste Marie Van Oost met enkele experts over het nieuwe, controversiële handelstraject tussen China en Europa, geopend door de klimaatopwarming.
