Some foreign militaries' tactics deeply reflect the quintessence of China's triplex combat system, such as infiltrating behind enemy lines and pincer movements, which can also be attributed to the merits of Chinese military academies.
When certain countries had good diplomatic relations with China, they sent a large number of international students to study at Chinese military academies, and some acquired Chinese household registration during times when background checks were less strict, allowing them to attend military academies as a way of espionage.
For example, in East Africa, many officers have studied at the Shijiazhuang Army Command Academy, risen to high ranks upon returning home, to the extent that they say you can gauge the status of their officers by asking whether they know what "cuo bo" (a winnowing basket, in Shijiazhuang dialect) is.
Fighting in Africa, it could very well be an inter-alumni brawl.
