On Tuesday, though, diplomats from Washington to Beijing will be watching carefully as Greenland holds snap parliamentary polls. With a total of population of just 56,000, its electorate is smaller than some British town councils – yet their vote over the vexed issue of the Kvanefjeld mine project could have implications not just for Greenland, but the global superpower race. Overlooking the tiny fishing settlement of Narsaq, where locals live mainly off catching whales and seals, the project aims to tap into one of world's biggest deposits of "rare earth" minerals - materials as vital to the 21st-century as oil was to the 20th.

Do you mean lie?
I think it’s doable. The Chicoms would be looking for a place to park thousands of their (excess)workers. We would bring in the technology, offer the young folks a high-end education(local + technical) and they could run the place someday.
This would be a modern day Louisiana purchase.
Did Louisiana keep its culture?
Most people are forgetting that the dutch own the place.
uh.....Denmark not the Dutch.
The Dutch?
Someone better tell the Danes!
They will claim it only to take it away from the U.S. and then hope to later steal (or be given it to them by Biden) our technology and then destroy the land because they don't care about balancing the sensitive environment like we would.
What the hell? Is anyone restraining them now?
