More than two months have passed since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but the situation has not eased, but has intensified. Together with the Red Sea region, it has become a danger zone. Israeli supporters of the United States' merchant ships were targeted by the Houthis.
The United States organized a so-called "escort alliance", but the response was mediocre, with no participation from Middle Eastern countries and a clear statement that China would not participate. The little brothers of the United States either pretended to be deaf and dumb, or only sent observers, and only Britain and France sent small boats to "make a big noise".
This situation is in stark contrast to the situation when the United States fought Iraq. In this case, the major shipping companies chose to take a detour to the Cape of Good Hope instead of taking the Suez Canal.
COSCO and other companies also verbally notified on the 18th that they would no longer accept goods on the Red Sea route. Interestingly, on the same day, a COSCO-owned freighter, named "Yinhe", passed through the Red Sea.
The 1993 Yinhe incident, along with the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, the bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia's embassy, and the plane collision incident in the South China Sea, became the four major humiliating incidents in China's history.
The occurrence of this incident highlights the illegal tracking and reconnaissance of China's economic and military dynamics by the United States, which fears that China poses a threat to the United States, especially China's cooperation with Iran.
The Yinhe is a vessel owned by the Central Plains Guangzhou Ocean Shipping Company, which was transferred from the Asia-Europe route to the Persian Gulf route in 1992, between Tianjin Xingang and the Persian Gulf.
On July 7, 1993, after setting sail from Tianjin, the Galaxy sailed to Dubai via Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore and Jakarta according to the original plan, and then went to Dammam Port and Kuwait in Saudi Arabia after unloading.
During the voyage, the Galaxy suffered an accident - a U.S. military *** stopped in the sky above it. The Galaxy is sailing from Jakarta to Dubai Harbour, just one step away from its destination, at this time it is in the open sea, confused about the purpose of ***.
Soon after, Dubai Harbour** sent a telegram to the captain of the Milky Way, saying that the UAE** did not agree to the ship's entry into port for loading and unloading. At the same time, three US ** ships numbered "61", "75", and "96" also appeared near the Yinhe.
The air and sea forces of the US ** team are clearly not well-intentioned. It turned out that the U.S. F.B. learned from a grapevine that there may be "hidden prohibited chemical ** materials thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride" on the Milky Way.
Clinton quickly agreed to the US Navy's proposal to intercept the Galaxy outside the mouth of the Persian Gulf and forcibly board the ship for inspection, a move similar to the incident of intercepting a Cuban missile transport ship in the Caribbean Sea in the 60s of the 20th century.
The U.S. hype has made the world know that the Galaxy is a "threatening ship carrying toxic chemicals." After the collapse of the USSR, the United States was at the height of its history, and they were able to carry out inspections of ships even without hard evidence.
This matter is very important, and the Chinese side has conducted a detailed investigation of the ** companies, tally companies and cargo owners in Tianjin, Shanghai and relevant ports through which the Yinhe passes, but has not found any so-called "hazardous chemicals".
However, when China informed the United States of the results of the investigation and pointed out the errors in their intelligence, the Americans remained unwavering, insisting that thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride were on board the Galaxy.
Eventually, the Saudis allowed the Galaxy to enter the port of Dammam, which was guarded by both Saudi Arabia and the United States.
Thirty years ago, the United States unreasonably seized China's Galaxy and let the world see China's"Taoguang is obscure"。Despite being forced to undergo inspections, our country did not compromise.
In the end, the results of the examination proved the innocence of our country. Today, China is no longer the China of the past, and its naval strength is growing rapidly. And the United States is no longer the United States of the past.
The United States, once free to do as it pleases, is now unable to protect even its own merchant ships and is in the wake of public outrage for supporting the genocidal Israel. This history has passed, but we need to remember that only by being strong can we not be bullied.
In this context, the Galaxy on the Red Sea is particularly eye-catching. On the 18th, a user named Sal Mecoliano posted a tweet on the social ** "x" (formerly Twitter), saying: "Although only Maersk (Denmark), CMA CGM (France), Mediterranean Shipping (Switzerland), and Hapag-Lloyd (Germany) have announced that they will change their routes and no longer pass through the Red Sea, some other shipping companies have also begun to plan to postpone the transshipment cycle."
For example, Japan's ONE (a container shipping company formed by a joint venture between Japan's three major shipping companies) and South Korea's HMM (South Korea's Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd.) are waiting for their ships.
But the most interesting thing is that the cargo ship Yinhe, flying the flag of Hong Kong, China, belongs to COSCO. ”
A ship called "Galaxy", sailing in the Red Sea will not be attacked by the Houthis. This is because in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has always stood on the side of justice and maintained good relations with Arab countries.
And the foreigner inadvertently mentioned the name, giving people a new interest in the event. The current "Galaxy" is not the same as it was 30 years ago, but it has inherited the name and sailed smoothly in the current situation where the United States is in a weak position.
Fortunately, in the African port of Djibouti, the 45th escort group of the Chinese Navy is stationed and can support at any time to ensure that such an incident does not happen again.
