Le « Travail Politique Militaire » de la Chine et la formation militaire professionnelle en Afrique

China views professional military training in Africa as an opportunity to promote its governance model while strengthening its ties with ruling political parties in Africa.
Training foreign officers, which is part of what China calls “military political work,” has become a key area of Chinese engagement in Africa. This “military political work” (jundui zhengzhi gongzuo; ) includes all the activities of China’s Popular Liberation Army (PLA) aimed at shaping the civilian environment to achieve the political, ideological, and military goals set by the Chinese Communist Party (CPC). These activities include political and ideological awareness within the army, public affairs and the “United Front strategy” (to mobilize support outside the party), as well as educational functions such as military professional training (FMP).
