“We will also send police consultants to countries in need to conduct training to help them quickly and effectively improve their law enforcement capabilities,” Minister Wang Xiaohong said at an annual global security summit. “We will help them improve their capabilities in a streamlined and efficient manner.”
Monday was the day when Wang Xiaohong made the announcement in front of law enforcement representatives from 122 different nations, regions, and international organizations such as Interpol. The announcement was made in the city of Lianyungang, which is located in the countryside.

Keep reading. The conference is a component of the continuous efforts led by the Communist party, which is the ruling party in China, to establish itself as a global security leader. Xi Jinping, the leader of China, initiated the Global Security Initiative (GSI) in 2022. This initiative positions China as a facilitator with the goal of “improve global security governance… and promote durable peace.”
There have been concerns raised by certain human rights organizations regarding the fact that recent training programs for African police officers have introduced authoritarian strategies similar to those used by the Communist Party. Additionally, these programs have a significant emphasis on protecting Chinese commercial interests in those countries, which are frequently connected to China’s state-run foreign investment program known as the belt and road initiative.
Regarding the officers or countries that would be receiving the training, as well as the location where the training would take place, the public accounts of Monday’s speech did not disclose any specifics. In addition to the creation of its peace proposal for the conflict in Ukraine, Beijing has linked the Global Strategy Initiative (GSI) to its role as a mediator in the negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Analysts believe that it has the potential to change the current world order, which is dominated by the United States.
A series of bilateral security and policing agreements that have been struck with developing nations in recent years, particularly in Africa and the Indo-Pacific region, appear to be included in the Global Security Initiative (GSI) strategy. Beijing said in the previous year that the Global Security Initiative (GSI) was “willing to provide other developing countries with 5,000 training opportunities in the next five years to train professionals for addressing global security issues.” The GSI was intended to stimulate increased cooperation between tertiary-level military and police academies.
The revelation made on Monday indicates that the number is growing, with Wang mentioning that China has already educated 2,700 law enforcement professionals from other countries over the course of the previous year.
Following a forum between China and Africa that took place the previous week, Beijing made the announcement that it will train one thousand additional law enforcement officers for the African continent “and jointly ensure the safety of cooperation projects and personnel.” There was an instant lack of clarity over whether or not those 1,000 cops are included in the 3,000 officers that Wang cited yesterday.
During the China-central Asia summit on public security, which took place on Tuesday, Wang delivered a speech and met with senior officials from the five countries that were there. According to him, they had reached an agreement to expand their connections, which included making efforts to “deepen law enforcement and security cooperation.” Additionally, they said that they would “focus on the vision of universal security and enhance the ability of joint operations against terrorism and transnational crime.”
During his trip to Beijing in July, Jose Ramos Horta, the President of Timor-Leste, signed a new partnership agreement with Xi Jinping. The agreement included provisions to “enhance exchanges at all levels between the military and police forces, strengthen cooperation in such areas as personnel training, equipment technology, the conduct of joint exercises and training, police affairs and law enforcement.”
An agreement reached in 2022 with the Solomon Islands to increase collaboration with China on “law enforcement and security matters” caused concern among the United States of America and other western allies, particularly other states in the Pacific. Immediately following the Solomons agreement, Wang Yi, who was serving as the country’s foreign minister at the time, made an attempt to establish a regional agreement with approximately twelve Pacific states, but he was unsuccessful.
