Chinese peacekeepers just leveled up their hero status! 🦸♂️ On China's National Day (October 1), the United Nations honored two squads – the 5th peacekeeping helicopter unit in Sudan-South Sudan border region Abyei and the 23rd contingent in Lebanon – with prestigious Peace Medals for their tireless work in conflict zones.
💡 Why it matters: These squads have been running real-life 'peace ops' missions – from medical evacuations to infrastructure repairs – in some of the world's most volatile areas. Their Lebanon team alone has cleared over 18,000 landmines! 🚁⚡
Talk about perfect timing! Getting decorated on National Day adds extra sparkle to China’s global peacekeeping rep. A UN rep called them 'bridges of hope,' proving youth everywhere can make waves in international security. 🌊✨
