Where is the focus of the international community's attention now?In the Red Sea region, how many countries will accompany the United States in building a joint fleet in the Red Sea to confront the Houthis in Yemen. In fact, the international community is more concerned about when the US-led coalition fleet will fire its first shot at the Houthis in Yemen?
1. The size and membership of the joint fleet: with the participation of many countries, the EU will join the new situation.
Judging from the current situation, a spokesman for the US Department of Defense pointed out that more than 20 countries have joined the US operation against the Cypriot armed forces in the Red Sea. These more than 20 countries include 10 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Bahrain, Canada, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Seychelles, and Spain. Recently, the European Union announced that it would join the operation, extending its military operations in the Red Sea from the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea region against Yemen's Houthi rebels. Although it seems that more than 20 countries are participating, it is actually a fragmented mess.
2. Countries that are really willing to follow: the United Kingdom, Canada.
Although more than 20 countries are involved, only the United Kingdom and Canada are really willing to follow the United States with a dead heart and an iron heart. This shows that there are very few countries that support the United States in this joint operation.
3. Whether China will send ** into the southern Red Sea: the focus of concern of the international community.
The international community is generally concerned about whether China will send ** into the southern Red Sea, especially if the United States puts pressure on China. The United States has demanded that China join the "Prosperity Guardians" program, which targets Yemen's Houthi rebels. However, China emphasizes its independent military and diplomatic strategy, which is not coerced.
4. China's Operational Considerations: Justice, National Interests, and UN Mandate.
China will consider whether the Houthi military action in Yemen is just. The purpose of this operation is to coax the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip against Israel. China believes that this is justified from the perspective of the historical merits. At the same time, China stressed that the ships patrolling the southern part of the Red Sea were not militarily harassed by Yemen's Houthi forces, so China would not be completely subordinate to the United States without authorization from the United Nations.
5. China's independent decision-making: not the little brother of the United States.
China stresses that it is not the younger brother of the United States, and that the United States is not qualified to dictate to China. China will consider actions in accordance with its own national interests and relevant UN Security Council resolutions. The unilateral opinion of the United States cannot shake China's decision-making, and China will independently decide how to deal with the situation in the Red Sea in accordance with its independent military-diplomatic strategy.
To sum up, the current situation in the Red Sea has attracted the attention of the international community. With the accession of the European Union, the combined fleet is large, but the countries supporting the United States are limited. China's actions will be the focus of its decision-making, which will take into account justice, national interests, and the UN's mandate. China adheres to independence and does not follow the command of the United States. Ultimately, the question of concern for the international community is whether China will join the Prosperity Guardian program and how its future actions will affect stability in the Red Sea region.
