Why do the Chinese have icebreakers?

A) The area around Dalian (?) just might freeze over. Don't know.

B) Good to be prepared when they finally move on Siberia, and China extends its borders to the arctic. Don't laugh, I'm sure they're planning it.

They have ice breakers to service their Antarctic research bases.
