Greenland

independence?
- 丹麥的左派政治陣營一直力撐格陵蘭獨立；右派則認為格陵蘭應更緊密團結在一起。至於格陵蘭約五萬六千名島民，爭取獨立的聲音一直沒有停止過，問題是當地自上世紀七十年代實行地方自治後，儘管哥本哈根多次放權，但經濟一直無大起色，現時當地每年財政預算的一半來自哥本哈根政府的補助。可以說，格陵蘭對丹麥「又愛又恨」：既想尋求自主，經濟又離不開對方，如今特朗普成功令兩地同仇敵愾，「抵禦外侮」。特朗普想憑解決北韓核問題捧走諾貝爾和平獎或許不切實際，但藉解決格陵蘭跟丹麥的爭端，卻分分鐘能成事。https://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/news/20190820/00184_010.html

ethnic groups
- Kalaallit make up the largest group among the Greenlandic Inuit, and are concentrated in Kitaa. It is also a contemporary term in the Greenlandic language for the indigenous people living in Greenland (Greenlandic Kalaallit Nunaat).^[3] The Kalaallit (singular: Kalaalleq) are a part of the Arctic Inuit people. The language spoken by Inuit in Greenland is Kalaallisut. Possibly adapted from the name Skræling, Kalaallit historically referred specifically to Western Greenlanders. On the other hand, Northern and Eastern Greenlanders call themselves Inughuit and Tunumiit, respectively.

- Trump’s administration is not the first to make an inquiry about buying the island. President Harry Truman expressed desire to acquire the island in 1946 for $100 million in gold, and earlier attempts to buy the island stretch back to 1867.https://www.cnbc.com/2019/08/21/heres-why-trump-wants-to-buy-greenland.html
- The US says it will reopen its consulate in Greenland for the first time in decades - just days after Denmark’s refusal to sell the region sparked a presidential tantrum. Donald Trump angrily pulled out of a state visit to Denmark and dubbed prime minister Mette Frederiksen “nasty” for telling him that his wish to buy Greenland was “absurd”. But the State Department now says it wants to re-establish a consulate in Nuuk, the capital of the semi-autonomous region.The US opened a consulate in Greenland in 1940 in response to the Nazioccupation of Denmark but it was closed in 1953.In 1991 it was revealed that Harry S Truman, US president between 1945 and 1953, had secretly offered to buy Greenland, although he too was rebuffed.

EU
- Greenland, an autonomous constituent country of the Kingdom of Denmark (which also includes the countries of Denmark and Faroe Islands) is one of the EU's overseas countries and territories (OCT). Greenland receives funding from the EU for sustainable development and has signed agreements increasing cooperation with the EU. Greenland joined the then European Community in 1973 as a county along with Denmark, but voted to leave the EC in 1982 and left in 1985, to become an OCT. Citizens of Greenland are, nonetheless, EU citizens owing to their Danish citizenship.


China
- http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com/international/art/20170409/19984503 外媒報道，中資礦業公司「中國俊安集團」原計劃買起丹麥領地格陵蘭的一個廢棄海軍基地，已被丹麥以國防安全考慮為由拒絕出售。報道引消息人士稱，丹麥此舉是不想中國在格陵蘭建立潛在軍事據點，以免損害與美國之間的盟友關係。格陵蘭目前是丹麥的海外自治領地，自治政府負責內政，但外交及防務仍掌握在丹麥政府手中。報道指自治政府原本於去年答允向俊安出售廢棄海軍基地，該基地位於格陵蘭島西南部的格羅尼達爾，1942年由美軍建設用來保護美國和歐洲之間的航線，其後美國將此基地移交丹麥政府，自2012年起一度成為丹麥在格陵蘭的海軍指揮總部，惟於約兩年前遭廢棄。丹麥國防部並無回應拒售基地原因，不過知情人士指，丹麥政府此舉「很明顯無法容忍中美在格陵蘭玩『捉迷藏』，且美國政府也不樂見此情況」。網上資料顯示，於本港註冊的俊安集團是中國最大的焦煤和鐵礦石進口商之一，資產總額逾60億美元（下同，逾466億港元）。前年初有外媒報道指，俊安也曾以20億美元（約155億港元）買起格陵蘭一個鐵礦。俊安暫未對買基地被拒作回應。

• 中國或參與丹麥自治區格陵蘭島上的機場建設，目前已有一家中國企業入圍投標，惟丹麥政府認為此舉會惹其盟友美國不滿，亦擔憂中國對格陵蘭的影響力日益擴大，或阻止中企參與。http://orientaldaily.on.cc/cnt/china_world/20180619/00178_013.html
