China and South Sudan's Armed Conflict

The Paris-based Asia Centre published in January 2017 a research note titled "Strategy of 'Parallels': China in the South Sudanese Armed Conflict" by Obert Hodzi, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki.

The author argues that China's strategy in South Sudan is not linear but rather a deliberately convoluted strategy of "parallels." The article explores this strategy of "parallels" and the implications it may have on Beijing's future engagement in civil wars in Africa.
