ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that limited sovereignty and peacekeeping operations, as a mutually constructed tool of conflict resolution for humanitarian crises in Africa, give new meaning to the representation of China's harmony-centred ideals that allows all the parties to maximize their shared interests for peace. Firstly, the chapter deconstructs China's decades-long perceptions of sovereignty as a strategy for peace in Africa, highlighting the moral dilemmas inherent in its available security and development choices. Secondly, it focuses on limited sovereignty as a condition for peace, within the context of the Chinese and international practices, to display the policy utilities for peace, not war. Thirdly, the chapter tests the Chinese peacekeeping operations in Africa, so as to recapture and ascertain the meaning of 'doing good' for the world. Domestic politics and international security mutually construct the Chinese concept and practice of limited sovereignty.
