In Engpsh, "代理冲突" (dài lǐ chōng tú) can be translated as "proxy confpct."
A proxy confpct is a type of international confpct in which two opposing countries or groups use third parties as surrogates to fight on their behalf, rather than engaging in direct combat with each other. This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as to avoid direct confrontation or to avoid violating international laws or treaties.
