Middle Eastern powder keg!The big ships of the West hang the Chinese card, and the five-star red flag supports the support to dodge missiles, who is the smart person?
In the past few days, I have been scrolling through the Internet and seeing a piece of news that makes me emotional. Have you heard of Lindsay Graham?The old pro-Republican politician recently made a lot of nonsense in an interview, asking the US military to teach the Houthis a hard lesson, blow up Iran's oil fields, and eliminate the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards. The tone of the speech is so intense that it makes one wonder, are you sure this is not acting in a movie?
In order to avenge the Houthi blockade of the Red Sea, he actually proposed such an aggressive action!The question is, is this guy funny?I heard that the Red Sea is not peaceful these days, and large Western ships are often "warmly welcomed" by Houthi rockets and drones. Oh, the Houthi missiles don't have a long eye, and although they don't pose much threat to those behemoths of freighters, they can keep the stock price falling as they come and go. No, the US Department of Defense has launched a "Red Sea Prosperity Guardian" operation, but the result is not very good, it is just an ornament, and it cannot solve the threat of the Houthis. Some Western shipping companies have learned wisely, don't listen to the promises of the United States, honestly bypass the Red Sea, and go to the Cape of Good Hope. As of December, nearly 18% of global capacity was forced to reroute, isn't that exciting enough?
What's even more interesting is that some of the big ship owners actually changed their nationality and changed their brand from Western to Chinese. Yes, it is to hang the five-star red flag. Our five-star red flag has actually become the "talisman" of the big ship. Some people jokingly call this a "wolf warrior turn", which I think is the choice of smart people. Don't look at the five-star red flag fluttering in the wind on the ship, you can feel a burst of pride, as if the Houthi missiles are about to be eclipsed.
You know, this is no joke, there are examples. A cargo ship of a Western company was attacked by the Houthis, and as a result, the people were so upset that the ship was gone, and the owner of the ship did not want it, so they simply changed its Chinese nationality and hung the five-star red flagOf course, not everyone is so ruthless, and some people are still hesitating to consider whether Chinese nationality is a lifesaver.
Netizens also began to discuss hotly, and some people supported: "This is a wise move, hang the five-star red flag, and the missiles in the Red Sea will be afraid!."Some people ridiculed: "It seems that the five-star red flag is really a magical international pass, and even missiles should be feared." * One after another, China's five-star red flag seems to have become a "shipping bodyguard" on the Red Sea.
However, I can't help but wonder if this is cleverness or cowardiceNot to mention that this is an individual case, I really don't understand why some big Western shipowners are so afraid of Houthi missiles that they want to hide the identity of the big ship behind the five-star red flag?
We are a five-star red flag, the pride of our generation of patriots, how did we become a tool for some shipowners to evade missiles?I'm really worried, is this smearing China's image in the Middle East?Could it be that the five-star red flag exists to evade missiles?Don't say that I sing about China, I just think that using the five-star red flag in this way is too "excessive".
Of course, I also understand that this is to protect their own interests, but this shipowner should not forget that the five-star red flag is not a child's play, it is the pride of our Chinese, and it is also a symbol of the country. Don't use it as a fig leaf, let alone as a "dodge missile" card.
Although this approach makes me a little unhappy, I can actually understand that the international political situation is complicated, and everyone is trying to protect themselves. After all, the risks on the Red Sea are no joke. However, if all Western ships are like this, this five-star red flag will really become a "talisman", which is not our original intention.
In short, the situation in the Middle East is like a powder keg, and no one dares to take it lightly. It may be clever for the big ships of the West to do this, but it is also a helpless move. I only hope that this five-star red flag will not be contaminated with too many fireworks, after all, it is a symbol of China, and it is the pride of Chinese people around the world. Don't let it become synonymous with dodging missiles, let the five-star red flag continue to fly on the world stage, unyielding.
