The recent crisis in the Red Sea has attracted a lot of international attention, after all, it is one of the world's most important shipping waterways, with a large number of merchant ships passing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal every day, connecting Asia and Europe. But the Houthis launched indiscriminate strikes in the Red Sea, which made it difficult for the global shipping giants to retreat, and this retreat was difficult for Europe.
According to ** reports, global shipping giants, including Denmark's Maersk and Germany's Hapag-Lloyd, recently announced that their merchant ships will bypass the Red Sea, which also means that goods destined for Europe need to detour through the Cape of Good Hope, and transportation costs will increase again.
Because of this, many European countries have chosen to join the "escort coalition" launched by the United States, except for Bahrain and Seychelles, the 10 countries participating in the coalition all seem to be Western countries, which is probably one of the main reasons;Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries that the United States originally wanted to join chose to refuse, after all, these countries did not want to provoke the Houthis and Iran behind it.
Many netizens have discovered that in the past two years of conflicts and great power games, Europe seems to have been the most injured. In the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States stabbed Europe in order to scare Russia, Russia also stabbed Europe in order to scare the United States, and Europe stabbed itself several times in order to prove that it could "carry".Now the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which eventually spilled over into the Red Sea crisis, Europe, which is highly dependent on Asia, is still the most injured one, in fact, the world's most concerned Sino-US game, Europe cannot escape, and is forced to choose between "decoupling" and "maintaining contact".
Why did these events eventually reach the world line of "only Europe is wounded"?A very important reason is that Russia's Putin revealed that Europe lacks independent sovereignty;Therefore, their foreign policy has always been hijacked by the United States, and Washington, of course, does not care about the interests of Europe, and only hopes that Europe can serve the hegemony of the United States, so it is not at all unjust that Europe has become a "wronged leader".
But some netizens noticed one thing: Japan and South Korea are also loyal dogs in the United States, but they don't seem to be bothered by too many route crises, at least much less affected than Europe and the United States. Some people believe that they are less disturbed because they are covered by the United States, but this is actually only part of the reason, and a more important reason is that because they are geographically close to China, the routes are highly overlapping with China's overseas routesOver the years, we have been trying our best to maintain peace and stability along the routes, so in a sense, Japan and South Korea are actually stained with our light, and in fact, the big trees behind us also include us.
In the past few days, some netizens have noticed one thing: a Hong Kong-flagged cargo ship named "COSCO Galaxy" sailed safely through the Red Sea and was not attacked by the Houthis. This made many people feel that our "Galaxy" freighter was unfairly treated by the US military, and we felt angry and humiliated because we could not safeguard our maritime interestsNowadays, when the merchant ships of other countries are unable to move an inch in the Red Sea, our other "Galaxy" can be unimpeded, and I have to say that in a sense, we can also be regarded as a bad breath.
Of course, COSCO also announced that the freighter would bypass the Red Sea, after all, the guns are not long-sighted, and we suspect that the "COSCO Galaxy" is a special trip to tell the world that we have the ability to defend our shipping safety.
From the Russia-Ukraine conflict to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and then to the Red Sea crisis, this is actually a test for all the major powers in the world, who can follow the trend of historical development. In one crisis after another, the answer is emerging, and we believe that the tide of historical development will not fail us.
