HANGZHOU, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Seven Chinese peacekeepers returned from South Sudan Tuesday after successfully finishing a one-year mission.

The sixth team of Chinese peacekeeping police to South Sudan, with members all selected from east China's Zhejiang Province, arrived at the Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport Tuesday evening, according to the public security department of Zhejiang.
