A map-centered atlas of Chinese security engagement in Africa from 1991 to 2026, organized into twelve thematic categories: military diplomacy, arms sales, ports and bases, peacekeeping, surveillance, exercises, private security, space and satellite, and more.

Area footprints where a pin would mislead, a record drawer with every entry's sources, a story mode that plays the timeline year by year, and a dashboard of patterns across the atlas.
