Answer

Supporting Evidence

In my country the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has participated in a humanitarian relief/disaster assistance (HADR) effort, such as in March 2019, during the Cyclone IDAI. According to the former Minister of Defence, the Chinese armed forces have been supporting Mozambique in responding to natural disasters such as cyclone IDAI, which devastated the country in March 2019. However, no recent evidence is available, so this question has been marked as "Skip".
