    They are probably not soldiers, but rather mercenaries. I doubt China would deploy official forces like NK did.

      I doubt Chinese mercenaries can work anywhere without CCP approval.

        China is huge, it’d be hard to control everybody. But who knows, China is also really into controlling people. Either way, some evidence would be great.
