Training a Chinese Peacekeeper

Sixth Tone, a Shanghai-based English language website, posted on 26 March 2018 a piece titled "The Art of Peace: A Young Chinese Woman's Unlikely Career Choice" by Ni Dandan.

This is an account of a young Chinese woman who has become part of China's 8,000 troop commitment to a 40,000-strong UN peacekeeping standby force. It sheds some light on China's training program for peacekeeping personnel. Most Chinese UN peacekeepers are in Africa.
