Recently, the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group USS Eisenhower launched a military operation near the Red Sea, engaging in fierce battles with the Houthis. Not to be outdone, the Houthis launched a large number of drones and long-range cruise missiles, creating a terrible rain of missiles. The entire battle lasted several hours, during which the US Super Hornet managed to shoot down a target. The conflict stemmed from the United States' support for Israel and the Houthis' dissatisfaction, which intensified the tensions between the two sides.
According to reports, the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group "Eisenhower" fired the first shot in the Red Sea and launched an offensive against the Houthis. The US military dispatched the "Super Hornet" carrier-based aircraft and the Burke-class destroyer "Raboon". The Houthis responded by firing drones and long-range cruise missiles, leading to a fierce battle on the Red Sea. Throughout the battle, the United States demonstrated its military prowess and managed to shoot down a target.
However, this battle is only a microcosm of the intensification of contradictions between the two sides. The Houthis do not want to see U.S. support for Israel as an act of aiding and abetting the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The United States, on the other hand, wants to ensure that its supplies can reach Israel smoothly through the Red Sea, so it is preparing to enlist 20 countries to form a "convoy operation". The growing differences between the two sides eventually led to this bitter conflict.
During the fighting in the Red Sea, some American netizens claimed that a Chinese Type 052D missile destroyer appeared in waters 60 kilometers away from the US aircraft carrier, and said that it may be observing battlefield information. However, the claims are vague and difficult to distinguish between the real and the false.
It is worth noting that the 45th escort group of the Chinese Navy is preparing to carry out escort missions in the waters of the Middle East, and one of them, the Type 052D missile destroyer Urumqi, is also on board. China's main purpose in sending escort formations is to protect national sovereignty and overseas interests, not to intervene in geopolitical conflicts. China has always pursued the position of peaceful development, adhered to a neutral and objective attitude, and will not get involved in the struggle of any external forces.
Therefore, the hype of American netizens about the entry of Chinese ships into the Red Sea is undoubtedly a smear against China and an attempt to involve China in this conflict. China insists on maintaining its strategic ambition and will not easily engage in geopolitical conflicts, but is committed to achieving its own development. The United States is now eager to woo China, most likely because it fears that China's rise will pose a threat to its strategic interests.
The Chinese Navy's escort formations are carrying out tasks in the waters of the Middle East, which is of great significance to China. The constant U.S. intervention in the Middle East has led to instability in the region and the growth of extremist and pirate forces along the coast. In order to safeguard overseas interests and protect the country's security, China had to send escort formations to carry out patrols.
However, the squadron has always adhered to the principle of protecting national sovereignty and territorial security and will not intervene in any conflict with external forces. In the face of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, China has always aimed for a peaceful solution and has worked hard to promote dialogue. China's neutrality has been widely recognized by the international community.
In the face of the hype and smear of American netizens, the squadron will continue to maintain strategic focus and will not be drawn into this conflict. China attaches great importance to safeguarding its strategic interests, promoting peaceful development, and is committed to becoming a responsible major country in the world. The strategic encirclement and co-optation of the United States will only make China more vigilant and make China more determined to follow its own development path.
The Red Sea fighting is the latest manifestation of U.S. sanctions against the Houthis and a revolt against U.S. support and resentment against Israel. The fierce confrontation between the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group and the Houthis demonstrated the military strength of the United States, but it could not change the pattern and contradictions in the Middle East.
The presence of the escort group of the Chinese Navy does not mean that China will be involved in this conflict. China has always adhered to the principle of safeguarding sovereignty and will not easily participate in geopolitical conflicts. China will continue to pursue peaceful development, promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and contribute to world peace and stability. The U.S. strategy of co-opting and smearing will only make China more vigilant and determined to follow its own development path.
