Recently, a news on the Internet about the Chinese navy's refusal to rescue foreign ships in the Red Sea caused a stir. However, the truth of the matter is not so.
According to reports, the news was initially released by a social account with a large number of followers. The account claims that the Chinese ** ship in the Red Sea region rejected a request for rescue of a foreign vessel in distress. The news quickly spread across the Internet, sparking widespread attention and discussion.
However, after careful investigation and verification, we found that this news was false. The Chinese Navy did not refuse to rescue any foreign ships in the Red Sea region. In fact, the Chinese Navy has always upheld the spirit of humanitarianism, actively participated in international rescue operations, and provided timely assistance to ships and personnel in difficulty.
In addition, we note that the social media account that posted the false news did not provide any credible evidence to support its claims. This gives us reason to doubt the authenticity and motives of this information.
Here, we appeal to the majority of netizens not to believe unconfirmed news, let alone spread false information. At the same time, we also hope that relevant parties can strengthen the crackdown on false information and maintain the authenticity and credibility of online information.
Recently, tensions have flown up in the Red Sea region, and the confrontation between the Houthis and the United States has come into international focus. The new Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been going on for nearly three months, with more than 20,000 dead people in the Gaza Strip and no sign of a ceasefire, casting a heavy shadow over the entire region.
The Houthis issued a statement warning of the militarization of the Red Sea by the United States and its allies, saying that the Red Sea could become a "burning arena." According to the statement, a Houthi aircraft was fiercely attacked by the US military while carrying out a reconnaissance mission in the waters of the Red Sea. In response, the Houthis demanded that the United States and its allies immediately withdraw from the waters of the Red Sea.
Earlier, two Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen to the international shipping lanes in the southern Red Sea, fortunately, the missiles did not cause damage to any ships. However, on the same day, the US Navy destroyer USS Raboun managed to shoot down 6 drones from the Houthis in Yemen while patrolling the Red Sea.
In the face of US military deterrence, Yemen's Houthis have not flinched, but have become more and more courageous. There is a risk that the "Red Sea crisis" will escalate further, potentially triggering a broader regional conflict. Li Shaoxian, dean of the School of Chinese Arab Studies at Ningxia University, believes that the Houthis have taken the initiative to get involved in the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and their intentions are obvious: on the one hand, they will firmly support Palestine and respond to Hamas's actions by attacking Israeli and American targetsOn the other hand, it hopes to assert its presence through Operation Red Sea and attract the attention of the international community, with a view to the international community's recognition of its legitimate rule in Yemen and the lifting of the blockade against it.
