The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is like a raging flame, intensifying and causing artillery fire in the Red Sea region to become volatile and unstable.
Yemen's Houthis have courageously made their stand on the international stage: in the Red Sea region, only Chinese and Russian merchant ships can sail unharmed.
This is undoubtedly a challenge to the international community and highlights the important position of these two countries in international affairs.
Since the US and British teams are now jointly attacking some specific targets in Yemen, it has also led to direct attacks by the Houthis on US ships, and they are not merciful to the merchant ships of the United States, Israel, Britain and some other countries.
Under such a premise, the merchant ships of many countries do not dare to rashly pass through the Red Sea, even with the support of the United States.
Instead, choose a long-distance detour.
If you choose to take a detour, the transportation cost increases by 600%.
Of course, there are some countries whose ships don't have that much cost to divert their routes, so some of them have come up with all sorts of options.
Some U.S. merchant ships have tried their best to pass through the Red Sea region in order to be safe and sound.
From the current situation, it can be seen that the US merchant ship uses the following methods.
The first method is to change all the information of the ship to be related to China.
If the Houthis in Yemen had not deliberately inquired about the ships, they might not have known about them at all, or they might have chosen to let them pass.
It has to be said that this method has allowed many American ships to pass directly through the Red Sea.
Method 2: Some U.S. ships did not change the information to China, but changed all the crew information to the Chinese crew.
The Houthis have made it very clear that they will not attack Chinese ships and will not attack the Chinese.
Then even if the American ships are all Chinese, the Houthis may choose to let it go.
Both of these methods allowed some American merchant ships to easily pass through the Red Sea region.
But the Houthis are not vegetarians, and now that they have control over the entire Red Sea region, they can easily discern some key information.
Under the precise monitoring of Yemen's Houthi forces, some US merchant ships have used a shameless method.
The third way: forcibly get together with our Chinese merchant ships in the Red Sea region.
As we all know, the Houthis attack on merchant ships in other countries either by using drones or by using missiles after surveillance.
Drone and related missile attacks sometimes only designate a target, but they do not accurately identify which ship is from which country.
Therefore, those ships shamelessly gathered with our Chinese merchant ships, so that the Houthis could not start.
The Houthis themselves now know that if these ships force themselves to join Chinese merchant ships, they will not dare to attack rashly.
After all, rashly launching an attack, hurting our Chinese ships hurting our Chinese, and they don't want to see it.
I have to say that now some countries are really shameless to pass through the Red Sea in order to reduce transportation costs.
Of course, the Houthis did not intend to let their merchant ships go so easily.
So now the Houthis are also quite a headache.
They are also trying to find a way to wipe out all the merchant ships of the United States without harming our Chinese ships.
