The Diplomat published on 19 February 2021 an analysis titled "Will China Become More Active in Libya?" by Guy Burton, Vesalius College, Brussels.
China has remained outside the conflict in Libya to leave all options open. The author concludes that China's response to recent political changes have been cautious and Beijing will continue to wait for a more definitive outcome before changing course. Should that happen, then a more active Chinese presence may will occur.
