Participation in UN Peacekeeping Operations

China actively participates in UN peace-keeping operations, and is the largest troop-contributing country among the permanent members of the Security Council as well as a major financial contributor. 

As of September 2020, China had participated in 25 UN peacekeeping missions, involving a total of over 40,000 Chinese military peacekeepers and costing 16 lives of Chinese service members. Activities undertaken by China's military in mission areas include the building or repairs of roads, totaling 17,000 kilometers in length; removal of more than 14,000 landmines and unexploded ordinance devices; transportation of 1.2 million tons of supplies, covering a total distance of 13 million kilometers; medical care and rescue provided for more than 246,000 people; and conduct of more than 450 armed escorts and patrols.  

China joined the UN Peacekeeping Capability Readiness System (UNPCRS) in September 2015 and now has in place an 8,000-strong standby force of UN peacekeepers. The acceptance process at Level 1 for the standby units was completed in September 2017; 13 units were elevated to Level 2 in October 2018 after an assessment and advisory visit from the UN; and six of these 13 units were elevated to Level 3 in 2019 and 2020. 

China had trained more than 1,500 peacekeepers from more than 60 countries by September 2020. The statistics of August 2020 showed that 2,521 PLA officers and soldiers were deployed in eight UN peacekeeping missions as well as in the UN headquarters.
