The subject of the analysis are the political-military aspects of relations between the People’s Republic of China and South Sudan. The first part of the article discusses political aspects and the second part discusses the military aspects of cooperation between states. Political-military bilateral relations are dominated by the issue of military conflicts of South Sudan. China is engaged in activities aimed at stabilizing the security in South Sudan, but above all it focuses on protecting its own interests in this country and the region of East Africa. The considerations are carried out from both a national and international perspective.
