In the latest episode of CGTN's Blue Helmets, No Borders, viewers get an inside look at how UN peacekeepers—including trailblazing Chinese forces—are evolving to protect fragile peace worldwide. From deploying drones in Abyei to rapid-response strategies, innovation is reshaping missions. 🚁💡
Meet Shi Wei, part of China's Quick Reaction Force, who shares gripping field stories: 'Every mission is about trust. Locals see our blue helmets and know hope isn’t lost.' Meanwhile, Xu Nanfeng, among China's first UN observers in 1990, reflects on 35 years of change: 'Peacekeeping isn’t just guns—it’s building schools, hospitals, and bridges.'
As the UN marks its 80th year, the docu asks: Can peacekeeping keep up with cyber threats and climate crises? Spoiler: Tech + teamwork might be the answer. 🌐🤝
With over 50,000 peacekeepers globally (China is the largest contributor among UN Security Council members), the series highlights their courage—and the ultimate sacrifices many make. Grab popcorn and tissues. 🍿😢
