LUSAKA, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Zambia's Ministry of Defense has held a grand medal-awarding ceremony for the 25th Chinese Military Medical Team in Lusaka, the Zambian capital, awarding 11 members of the team "Medal of Foreign Cooperation".
Norman Chipakupaku, permanent secretary in Zambia's Ministry of Defense commended China for sending senior doctors with vast experience and specialization, saying Zambia will continue to value their contribution and knowledge transfer they bring.
The medical teams, he said, have continued to make great contributions to the health of the Zambian people and that their medical skills have earned the trust and respect of many local people. "That is why they have continued to receive high accolades from people of all walks of life in Zambia."
Zambia, he said, appreciates the level of cooperation between the two countries in the health sector and intends to solidify it further in areas of medical equipment, technology and training. He commended the 25th medical team for its hard work, adding that the Zambian government was looking forward to the arrival of the 26th Chinese Military Medical Team and hoped that the new team will uplift the glorious tradition of the outgoing team.
Brigadier-General Bernard Kapatamoyo, commandant at the Maina Soko Medical Center, commended the commitment to duty of the outgoing medical team. He said the team showed innovation in its duty and that through mutual understanding and identifying gaps in delivery of health services, an emergency response team has been established at the hospital which will be responding to the various needs in terms of medical emergency.
He said the formation of the response team will go a long way in providing mentorship to the oncoming medical personnel and help in transfer of skills and knowledge.
Defense Attache at the Chinese Embassy in Zambia, Senior Colonel Jiang Lei, commended the team for carrying forward the spirit of the Chinese medical team by successfully completing their task at the Maina Soko Medical Center where they were based.
He said the Chinese Military Medical Team has become a successful symbol of the cooperation between the two countries since 1984 and deepened the medical cooperation as well as friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
"Chinese military doctors will be remembered by our Zambian friends and all members of our team will bring back to China the valuable experience in Zambia and the friendship of the two brotherly nations," he said.

Why was the team disqualified

Some members got hurt so they can’t proceed further.

Is there clear information to this effect?

The results document distinguishes between "Did Not Finish" and "Disqualified". Two teams are listed as "Did Not Finish" (or at least I assume that's what DNF stands for...) while two teams are listed as Disqualified, with an asterisk to note that they did not finish (nicht vollzählig). The rules document lists reasons for disqualification:

 Violation of the competition rules
 Violation of instructions given by the competition
organisation
 Shrewd interpretation of the competition rules
 Dangerous behaviour
 Unsportsmanlike behaviour

Some of the rules relate to reporting and managing injuries, but it does not appear that injuries in and of themselves should result in a team being Disqualified:

4 b) Dropping out of the competition:
 Competitors who are not able to proceed have to be transported
to the next occupied place by the team
 The squad is allowed to continue the competition as long as one
squad member has the required alpine qualification and the
number of soldiers is at least four

4 d) Health limitations
 Should medical treatment of a competitor become necessary, the
Competition Organisation will decide if the person in question
may continue or not.

Note that one of Austria's own teams is also listed as Disqualified (and another as "DNF") so I don't believe there is reason to suspect bias at this point.

BEIJING, Mar.7 -- The 21st Chinese Peacekeeping Multi-Role Engineering Company to United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) disposed of an explosive device found near the UN-demarcated “Blue Line” on March 3, 2023, local time.
The improvised explosive device was converted from an Israeli Type No.4A anti-personnel blast. The explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) team of the Chinese peacekeeping contingent took immediate action after receiving the UNIFIL mandate. The Chinese EOD soldiers assembled the EOD robotic manipulators and transferred the explosive device to the ground, while another EOD soldier wearing a heavy EOD suit set up the priming network at the operation point and completed the detonation work.
It’s reported that this is the first explosive device successfully disposed of by the 21st Chinese Peacekeeping Multi-Role Engineering Company during its mission period, which has been highly recognized by the UNIFIL.

"Leider ist das tschechische Team ausgeschieden, das Team China I bedauert den Ausfall eines Teammitgliedes, darf aber gemäß den geltenden Wettkampfbestimmungen außerhalb der Wertung den zweiten Wettkampftag bestreiten."

Unfortunately, the Czech team was eliminated, the China I team regrets the loss of a team member, but is allowed to compete on the second day of the competition outside of the ranking according to the applicable competition regulations.

Video description:

Innovation changes life, and technology helps strengthen the army. At present, scientific and technological training has become the mainstream trend of the army, and the way of training has fundamentally changed compared with the past. As a "military academy" and an "incubator" for combat-oriented talents, the teaching team needs to be at the forefront and face the future. Today, two sister soldiers took us into the teaching team of a brigade of the 81st Group Army of the People's Liberation Army to experience its modern charm together
