N2  - ABSTRACT
The main goal of this study is to assess if China's involvement in maintaining peace 
and security in Africa helps to end the continent's rising violent conflict. The 
significant increase in China's engagement over the last ten years constitutes one of 
the most significant and recent shifts the African continent has faced. As an area of 
emphasis for Sino-African ties, China continues to strive to play a bigger role in 
supporting security and peace in Africa. Additionally, as China grows as a player in 
global security, it has boosted its military diplomacy, training, and sales on the 
continent in recent years, surpassing the US as the continent's second-largest supplier. 
Conflict resolution has also risen, as has its depth and intensity of involvement in UN 
Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKOs). Additionally, it is asserted that China's growing 
role in African security presents both challenges and possibilities for the continent and 
its present security alliances, particularly the EU and NATO. An extensive review of 
the important literature will be conducted, and the results will be used to build a 
theoretical framework for the analysis. The research question will be emphasized, and 
a clear and considerate technique will be investigated and provided utilizing a 
descriptive method, along with an analysis of the previous studies on the subject. The 
information examined will be obtained from online resources, scientific journals, and 
other publications.
