China has been engaging in UN peacekeeping missions for the past two decades, building a stronger army and taking on international responsibilities.

China has joined in over 20 missions and sent over 30,000 personnel.

Last year there was a breakthrough. China announced it would send 700 strong infantry battalion to South Sudan. Initial group of 180 troops have left in January, and the remaining will depart in March.
