China's one-man Afghan mission

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific: "China's contribution to the peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan may prove a heavy burden for one policeman from southern China.

Zhang Ming has been chosen as the sole member of a Chinese contingent to join the international effort, according to China's state-run Xinhua news agency.

China shares a small stretch of its border with Afghanistan and Mr Zhang's presence is to help boost the fight against drug-trafficking. "
