The recent tensions in the Red Sea region of the Middle East have attracted the attention of countries around the world. The conflict between the United States and the Houthis in Yemen has intensified, and the United States is ready to use force, but the story behind this is not simple. It seems that the United States is to demonstrate its hegemony and show the unity of its allies and unite other countries against the Houthis in Yemen, but in fact, this is a helpless choice for the United States, and it is a plan B that they have to adopt after the failure of their plan A. Initially, there was speculation about how the United States would fight the Houthis in Yemen. Currently, the United States has only one aircraft carrier in the Middle East, and only 4 fighter squadrons are deployed on the carrier. This is clearly not enough in the face of Yemen's Houthi forces' large forces and equipment. If the United States temporarily transfers troops, it will cause an escalation of the situation. Therefore, the United States needs to cooperate with Saudi Arabia to conduct a military build-up in Saudi Arabia and in the process receive Saudi Arabia to provide access to bases and airspace. However, Saudi Arabia is still dependent on the United States for military power, although it has détente with Iran, so it is unlikely to support the U.S. military in its fight against Yemen's Houthis. Faced with such a situation, China seized the opportunity to conduct diplomatic negotiations with Saudi Arabia and Iran, and communicated their mutual support and common positions. This diplomatic move disrupted the U.S. plan and forced the U.S. to shift to joint action and force Saudi Arabia to get involved.
The United States decided to form an "anti-Yecan coalition" to unite many countries to escort ships in the Red Sea and prevent Yemen's Houthi forces from intercepting merchant ships. The move was ostensibly intended to teach Yemen's Houthis a lesson, but there was a deeper consideration behind it. The United States hopes to re-evolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict into a conflict between the Arab world and Iran through the entry of Rashat, thereby disintegrating the internal structure of the Middle East. However, China's diplomatic actions have made it difficult for the United States to realize. The United States wants to pull Saud into the game in order to force the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to escalate again, but now it seems that China has succeeded in blocking this plan. This incident shows that the United States is still immature in terms of planning the big picture, and China is relatively more sophisticated and resourceful.
The impact of China's diplomatic actions on the situation in the Middle East should not be underestimated. China held talks with Saudi Arabia and Iran in advance, emphasizing the common position of the three sides on the issue of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. For the Saudis, this is a signal that they need to maintain a stable and firm position in the volatile situation in the Middle East. Through close communication with Saudi Arabia and Iran, China has made its position on the Middle East clear, which has thwarted US plans. China's diplomatic actions have not only strategically restrained the United States, but also created new opportunities for the situation in the Middle East and contributed to regional peace and stability.
China's strategic wisdom manifests itself in two ways. First, China was able to accurately judge the U.S. plan and act quickly to dismantle the U.S. conspiracy. China's actions demonstrate its emergence as a global power and its important role in regional affairs. Second, through talks with Saudi Arabia and Iran, China has successfully broken the US calculation and protected peace and stability in the Middle East. This action not only demonstrates China's diplomatic wisdom, but also further strengthens China's influence in the Middle East.
From the above narrative, we can see that the US intervention in the Middle East situation is both short-sighted and vainly trying to reshape the regional pattern. However, China's diplomacy and deep understanding of the Middle East make it difficult for the United States to realise its plans. The impact of peace and stability in the Middle East on the world cannot be ignored, and China has played an important role in it with its wisdom and determination. As a global power, China's influence is expanding, and it is essential to protect and defend regional interests through diplomatic means. It is believed that China will do more in delineating the situation in the Middle East and promoting regional cooperation in the future.
