520			_aDriven by rapid economic growth over the past thirty years, China is world’s foremost consumer of nickel ore. China’s economic growth and political affirmation on the international scene, which coincides with a period of debate and concern in Canada about the country’s sovereignty in the North, contribute to the portrayal of various representations in the Canadian media of an aggressive China eager for the region’s mineral resources. In this context, the question that arises is what part Northern Quebec plays in China’s global strategies for its nickel ore supply. The Authors’ results show that Northern Quebec is not a major supply partner in the nickel sector for Chinese companies, which invest primarily in the Eurasian regional environment of China. The maritime distance and longer transit time from or to Northern Quebec from Chinese ports, coupled with lack of marine infrastructure facilities in the North explain the low level of interest and investment of Chinese companies for this area.
