Why doesn't China help escort the Red Sea?The Gulf of Aden has been guarded for 15 years, so why is the Red Sea unwelcome?
On December 26, 2008, the Chinese Navy Boat Formation set sail from Sanya, Hainan Province, and headed for the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters to carry out escort missions. This scene is a majestic gesture of China to defend maritime security. But now, after 15 years of escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden, why is China reluctant to escort ships in the Red Sea?
Recently, the Houthis announced the interception of Israeli ships in the waters of the Red Sea and even attacked a number of Israeli merchant ships. The incident caused panic among world-class shipping companies, leading to a series of route adjustments. In response to this threat, the United States has sent ships to patrol the Red Sea in an attempt to curb the arrogance of the Houthis. However, these allies have their own agendas, such as Australia, which sent only 16 officers and soldiers to the headquarters of the "Joint Maritime Forces" organized by the United States. This kind of situation shocked many netizens, and they expressed their dissatisfaction with Australia on social **: "What's going on?".No sense of responsibility at all!”
The United States, on the other hand, has always hoped to pull China into the water, saying that China's economy is also affected by the Red Sea issue, and hoping that China will play a constructive role in the Red Sea issue. But China simply ignored the proposal. This caused a controversy in the world, and some netizens commented: "This is a wise move by China, we can't be led by the nose, and the United States has always been unreliable." ”
Why doesn't China support escorts in the Red Sea?The reason is in**?Netizens have been hotly discussed. Some people believe that allies, including the United States, have seen that the United States has been unilaterally and forcefully supporting Israel, so that Israel has always received enough encouragement and support to continue the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. If the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues, the Red Sea escort is just a cloth on the abscess, which seems to solve the problem temporarily, but in fact the problem will only get worse until it completely festers. A netizen commented: "China is right to do this, don't be driven by interests, see the facts clearly, and don't let you go." ”
China has always emphasized that it should resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, starting with a ceasefire and then negotiating. The Gulf of Aden is escorted because the Gulf of Aden is infested with pirates in Somalia and requires force to ensure the safety of merchant ships. The Red Sea is clearly a problem that needs to be resolved through political means, and the use of force can only worsen the situation. Some netizens expressed their support: "China has foresight, and cannot be confused by temporary interests, the key is to grasp the fundamental contradictions." ”
On the whole, China's reluctance to escort ships in the Red Sea is not indifferent, but out of a rational analysis of the international situation. On this issue, China insists on resolving the issue through political means, rather than simply using force. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is the fundamental crux of the matter, and only through a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement can we usher in true peace. The escort of ships in the Gulf of Aden is aimed at combating pirates and ensuring the security of international waters. In contrast, the Red Sea issue requires a more complex solution, and China's refusal to be contained in it and its choice of a rational and decisive stance is also contributing to the maintenance of global peace and stability.
