Ignoring US warnings, the Houthis brazenly blockade of the Red Sea region and their attacks on all Israel and ships bound for Israel have seriously damaged Western shipping interests and are a provocation to US hegemony.
Against this background, the United States has roped in 20 countries to form a joint escort fleet codenamed "Prosperity Guardian," ostensibly to protect the safe passage of merchant ships from various countries, but in fact to ensure that the military supplies aided by the United States can reach Israel smoothly. The irreconcilable contradictions between the two sides eventually turned into a head-on confrontation.
According to a number of ** reports by Comprehensive Global Network and other *** reports, the US Navy's "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group recently fought fiercely with the Houthis in the Red Sea region for 10 hours, during which the "Super Hornet" carrier-based aircraft and the Burke-class destroyer "Raboun" were put into battle.
Although it successfully shot down more than 10 drones and a number of long-range cruise missiles, the United States, as the world's largest military power, the Houthis are only a small armed force in the Middle East, and the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
At the time of the fierce fighting between the United States and the Houthis in the Red Sea, some American netizens claimed on social ** that a Chinese Type 052D missile destroyer appeared in the waters of about 60 nautical miles of the "Eisenhower" aircraft carrier battle group. If you look at modern warfare and missile range, this distance can almost be said to be "close to the face".
Therefore, American netizens believe that the appearance of the suspected Chinese 052D destroyer is to obtain battlefield information. However, because the ** is very vague, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity.
It is worth noting that the 45th escort group of the Chinese Navy is indeed preparing to carry out escort operations in the waters of the Middle East, and there is indeed a 052D destroyer --- Urumqi.
Since the itinerary is booked in advance, there is no deliberate talk of rushing to observe, and although the Red Sea is one of the most important waterways in the world, it is itself very narrow, and the largest width is only 300 kilometers. The U.S. aircraft carrier opened up a fierce battle with the Houthis, which itself occupies a certain width of water, and other ships will not pass too far away, will all passing ships steal information?
Therefore, the remarks of American netizens are just confusing the public.
In the past few decades, the United States has frequently used force to intervene in the situation in the Middle East, and wars have led to rampant extremists and pirates.
In addition, China has never participated in the struggle of any external forces, interfered in the internal affairs of other countries, and will not intervene in conflicts.
Moreover, in the nearly two years since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, China has maintained neutrality, promoted peace talks, and created conditions for peace talksSince the outbreak of the new round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and an end to the fighting at the United Nations, working back and forth for the interests of the Palestinians. Peaceful and stable development is the path that China adheres to.
American netizens hyped that the Chinese ** ship advanced into the Red Sea, just to pull China into the water, but as long as we stick to our hearts, the eyes of the world are bright, what can the United States do with us?
On the contrary, the United States, while agreeing to the entry of humanitarian supplies into Gaza, dissociating itself from Israel's atrocities, and now fighting fiercely with the Houthis, is to support Israel and allow it to expand the war, so as to start a war in the Middle East and give the United States a chance to return to the Middle East. Iran, Saudi Arabia and other countries have to guard against this.
