China is currently engaged in what is known as "mission creep" in Africa. — It's the creepiest type of creep there is. "China initially found itself in South Sudan’s conflicts more by default than design. . . . In 2015, the Chinese foreign minister brought together South Sudan’s warring parties and regional mediators to talk in Khartoum. The meeting did not produce concrete new agreements, but secured pacts not to attack oil infrastructure. Beijing has been at least partially driven by self-interest, as protecting the oilfields has been a priority. But also felt the time was ripe to test a new, more proactive foreign policy so it could better protect its overseas interests, assert its influence over international security affairs and live up to the expectations of a responsible power."
