Beijing: A Chinese warship escorted a cargo ship in the Red Sea. The action comes in the context of Yemen’s Houthis continuing to attack ships passing through the Red Sea. The Houthis’ stated position is that they will only attack the ships of Israel and those who support them.

China and Russia’s ships should not go safely, he said. Therefore, it is estimated that China’s aim is to show power and exert influence in the region beyond providing security for ships.
