China’s peacekeeping role grew in the 21st century

Still smaller than top troop contributors.

Policy grids compress billions of people into equal squares — the shock is in the share, not the cell. This grid divides UN peacekeeping deployment (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — China deployments, Asia & Pacific, and 2 more groups — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.

1 cell = 100 uniformed peacekeepers (0.1% of UN peacekeeping deployment) · 1,000 cells
