Do you really regard the "Chinese background" as a "gold medal for avoiding death"? After the Houthis announced that Chinese ships had "immunity", there was a rare scene in the Red Sea, with a large number of ships surrounding Chinese ships and forcibly "forming a team".
According to the global network on January 24**, this Monday, the United States and the United Kingdom carried out a large-scale military strike on Houthi targets in Yemen.
This is the eighth U.S. airstrike on the Houthis in nearly two weeks, and the second joint strike by the U.S. and the U.K. 
CNN said that the code name of the US military's operation this time is "Operation Poseidon Archer", which means that the US military's military operation against the Houthis will not end in a short time, at least at present, it has no intention of ending, and it is an organized and targeted military operation.
It is worth noting that the US military's attack on the Houthis did not improve the situation in the Red Sea, and the Houthis did not accept the "hard-hitting" at all. A Houthi spokesman said that we do not know what surrender is, and that a counterattack by the United States and Britain will only make the Houthis stronger. The US media said that the Houthi attitude has always been a tough and confrontational attitude.
But the Houthis are not aimed at everyone, and in the process of confronting the United States, they have instead given privileges to Chinese ships. According to the Observer, Houthi Politburo member Bakiti said in an interview with Russia ** that Chinese ships and Russian ships can safely and boldly sail through the Red Sea without any threat, and the Houthis will not only not launch attacks, but will also ensure the safety of Chinese and Russian ships as much as possible.
Bakiti stressed that the Houthis are only targeting Israel, and that it is impossible for any Israeli-related ships to sail safely through the Red Sea, and that the Houthis will continue to strike at them. At the same time, he apologized for the accidental injury of a Russian oil tanker and promised that nothing like this would happen again. 
As a result, it can be seen that after the Chinese side has "immunity", a rare spectacle has appeared in the Red Sea. In the beginning, some cargo ships indicated that they were destined for China, or that they had Chinese crews on board, to avoid being attacked by the Houthis. Later, it directly developed into changing the existing Chinese cargo ships in their hands to specialize in running the Red Sea route, and if they didn't, they would rent Chinese cargo ships to run the Red Sea route.
But changing the route is not a trivial matter, it takes time to familiarize yourself with the route, weather, etc., it takes more time to charter a ship, and Chinese cargo ships are also limited, and the lease is not much.
As a result, a number of shipping giants came up with the idea of waiting for Chinese cargo ships to pass through the Red Sea waterway, and then surround Chinese ships in a swarm and forcibly form a "convoy" to sail through the Red Sea in this strange way.
It can be seen from the ship navigation chart published by ** that foreign ships are tightly surrounding Chinese ships, and they can't wait to stick it directly, if there is a collision accident, the consequences are unimaginable. 
Of course, this proves China's transcendent position in the Red Sea crisis from another angle, and also reflects China's growing influence and voice in the Middle East. This is inseparable from China's efforts on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, because we have always stood on the side of fairness and justice, called on all parties to resolve the issue in a peaceful way, and urged Israel to stop its military operations in the Gaza Strip and implement the "two-state" solution.
This is basically the same as the position of the Arab-Islamic countries, and in addition to the fact that Japan maintains good relations with the countries of the Middle East, it is one of the few major countries that they are all satisfied with.
The Houthis are still Iranians in essence, and our relationship with Iran is good, and the United States has invited China to participate in the Red Sea operation many times, but China has not waded into this troubled water.
The Houthis simply could not find any reason to attack the Chinese cargo ship, and it is reasonable to give the Chinese side "immunity", but if this situation continues, the "rubbing the ship" incident will definitely happen frequently, and who will be responsible for the real accident?
