China trains 1000s for overseas law enforcement to make 'more fair' world order

China has announced plans to train thousands of foreign law enforcement officers as part of its initiative to promote a "more fair, reasonable, and efficient" world order. Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong made this announcement at a global security forum attended by representatives from 122 countries and organizations, including Interpol. This initiative is part of China's broader strategy to position itself as a global security leader, following the launch of the Global Security Initiative (GSI) by President Xi Jinping in 2022. The GSI aims to enhance global security governance and foster peace, with a focus on cooperation with developing nations, particularly in Africa and the Indo-Pacific. Concerns have been raised by human rights groups regarding the nature of the training, suggesting it may promote authoritarian tactics aligned with the Communist Party's interests. Wang noted that China has already trained 2,700 foreign law enforcement officers in the past year and plans to increase this number, including an additional 1,000 officers for Africa. The initiative also includes strengthening ties with Central Asian nations and enhancing cooperation in combating terrorism and transnational crime. The announcement reflects China's efforts to reshape the current US-dominated world order through bilateral security agreements and training programs.
