In 1971, the People's Republic of China resumed its lawful seat in the United Nations and played a more active role in international affairs. After the reform and opening up, China has gradually participated in United Nations peacekeeping affairs. Since taking part in United Nations peacekeeping operations in 1990, the Chinese military has always kept in mind the original intention and mission of fulfilling the responsibility of being a major country, maintaining world peace, and serving to build a community with a shared future for mankind. It has bravely marched for world peace and forged ahead. China's "blue helmet" has become a key force for the United Nations to maintain peace.

The participation of the Chinese army in United Nations peacekeeping operations stems from the Chinese nation's peace gene, the Chinese people's feelings for the world, the fundamental purpose of the people's army, and China's responsibility as a great power! The Chinese army conscientiously practices the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, makes positive contributions to maintaining world peace and promoting common development, and highlights the image of a teacher of peace, justice and civilization.
