The South China Morning Post published on 15 November 2022 an article titled "Chinese Aid to African Security Forces Helps to Cement Ties, Study Says" by Jevans Nyabiage.
Drawing on a recent study published in the Journal of Global Security Studies, the author discusses China's military aid to Africa. China uses security assistance as an important foreign policy tool but has not tried to replace more traditional sources of aid. China's donations are often linked to its broader commercial interests.
