Résumé documentaire — langue originale

China's expanding foreign aid architecture in forestry and wildlife conservation has emerged as a significant, yet analytically under-examined, variable in global conservation governance.Conventions on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is widely recognized as one of the most effective platforms.As one of the world's largest consumers of CITES-regulated commodities, China simultaneously positions itself as a capacity-building donor to developing nations through technical training, equipment supply, and South-South cooperation frameworks.This paper assesses the influence of China's foreign aid training programmes in forestry and wildlife conservation on CITES implementation outcomes across developing nations, drawing on documentary evidence from CITES 20th Conferences of the Parties (CoP20), held in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, in November-December 2025.A systematic qualitative analysis of grey literature, official policy documents, peer-reviewed studies, and CoP20 proceedings was undertaken to map China's training architecture, identify implementation pathways, and assess outcomes and limitations.Findings indicate that China's programmes have demonstrably strengthened enforcement capacity, equipment supply, and permit-control systems in partner nations, particularly in East Africa and Southeast Asia.However, the absence of governance conditionality, the structural contradiction between China's roles as both consumer and donor, and the limited depth of short-cycle training workshops constrain the net positive impact on CITES compliance outcomes.The CoP20 context further reveals a geopolitical realignment in which China's influence is expanding as the United States withdrew funding, creating both opportunities and risks for the trajectory of global wildlife conservation governance.Targeted reforms, including transparent outcome monitoring, demand reduction integration, and deeper multilateral partnership, are recommended to enhance the effectiveness of China's conservation aid footprint.
