There is an arm embargo on Haiti, preventing their army from buying the weapons they need to restore order. Should China work to overturn this embargo (and gift arms and ammo as well as fear to secure the borders) in exchange for recognition away from Taiwan and in support of recognition of the PRC as the sole government of all of China?

Haitians won’t accept foreign troops, but political and military material support to a member of the African Union could help counter propaganda against Chinese projects, help the Chinese gain more experience in helping a government stabilize as well as potentially expand the BRI to another country (imagine Chinese build resorts on the northern Haitian coast for cruise ships to visit)
