China-Africa Security Radar published on 6 July 2025 an article titled "Rwanda Celebrated for Copying China's Homework in Military Development."
An article published in China praises Rwanda for modeling its military development on the example of the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The article claims that about 73 percent of Rwanda's active-duty officers have undergone Chinese military training. Much of Rwanda's military equipment is Chinese and its military doctrine and culture look much like the PLA's.
