By exporting the Revolution, I meant exporting an armed Revolution by exporting weapons and military equipment and soldiers, the way China and Cuba were doing back in the day.

Can you explain where and when did China export armed revolution? If you are referring to Vietnam and DPRK, those were military aid to existing socialist states and not exporting armed revolution.

When China trained the South African guerilla soldiers to fight and when they gave weapons to rebels to fight on Africa in general

Do you have any sources for this?

The first recruit outside of the ANC high command to be selected by Nelson Mandela to join the new uMkhonto weSizwe (MK) in 1961, Mlangeni was in the first group of six persons who went to China in 1962 for military training. China was the first country to accept MK members for training.

China’s involvement in Zimbabwe stretches back to the 1970s, when Beijing covertly supplied ammunition and financing to Mugabe’s guerrilla forces during the country’s war of independence. In the intervening years, China has continued to provide financial and political support to the African nation, investing extensively across a range of sectors and helping to develop key infrastructure projects.

I thought we were talking about socialist revolution, these are examples of military aid for independence and liberation of African countries. China is still training African soldiers today, are we seeing socialist revolutions anywhere?

The point of exporting weapons and training for soldiers was a socialist Revolution since these groups were communist parties or communist guerilla groups. The fact that socialism didn’t happen doesn’t mean that the attempt to export the Revolution was not there.
