There is just something fishy when Communist Chinese "UN peacekeeping" forces go to the middle of nowhere--expect a country known for Ebola. You don't think that the ChiComs are doing their peacekeeping out of the generosity of their good hearts, do you?

Got it.

No, I don't think the Chinese government does much out of the generosity of their good hearts. They are trying desperately to become a developed nation though, which means relying pretty heavily on western countries for things like trade. So whatever their ultimate goals may be, my personal guess is that things like this fit into the "prove to the West that we are good people so that they will help us" category.
