The Svalbard University Center is the world's most northern university. China is one of the States parties to the Svalbard Treaty, which entered into force in August 14, 1925. Under the treaty, all citizens of the Parties can enter the Svalbard and become residents without a visa, and citizens and companies of the Party have access to Svalbard including the right to fish, hunt or undertake any kind of maritime, industrial, mining, trade, and scientific research activities. The residents of Svalbard must follow Norwegian law. In accordance with the Treaty, China established the Chinese Arctic Yellow River Station in 2004 to carry out Arctic research there.
