Summary

Machine summary

The Ministry of National Defense Peacekeeping Affairs Center and Air Force Engineering University opened a UN peacekeeping UAV training course in Xi'an on October 19, drawing instructors and trainees from the UN and eight countries including Algeria, Malaysia, and South Africa across 31 specialized topics covering employment principles, command and control, and counter-UAV technology. The course documents China's use of multilateral peacekeeping training as a venue for projecting Air Force Engineering University's UAV expertise toward partner militaries in the Global South. The article's explicit framing of the course as implementation of the Global Security Initiative (全球安全倡议) is evidence of how the PLA is packaging its international military education activities within that political framework, not evidence of a capability or posture shift.
