The Red Sea region has become a hotbed of crisis for the United States since Hamas ignited the war against hegemony. The Houthis sunk freighters and shot down drones, leaving the United States in a dilemma. However, the U.S. solution is laughable – throwing "indicators" at China, hoping that China will become a "superhero" of the Red Sea problem.
After Hamas shouted the slogan of "anti-hegemony", Yemen's Houthis took over the baton and launched a frantic competition in the Red Sea. They claimed that they not only succeeded in sinking the British freighter, but also caused the American freighter to lose its armor, and finally destroyed an American MQ-9 Reaper drone. This is not a false statement, and the reaction of the British and American sides shows that the Houthis are credible and reliable.
The United States found itself in a difficult situation, and the Red Sea became a quagmire. What to do? The head is the original form, but further is also a dead end. God knows, the instigators of the crisis are helpless. It's a comedy of mixed joy and sorrow.
In order to get out of the predicament, the United States decided to dump the hot potato on China. U.S. Special Envoy to Yemen Rankin has been unashamed to say that China should be more "responsible" in its involvement in Red Sea security operations. What is this operation? The United States felt that it couldn't play anymore, so it simply invited China to play, this is not a throwing pot, it is simply a fried pot!
Deputy Assistant Secretary Shapiro also made a high-profile statement before the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, saying that China has done nothing on the Red Sea issue. Oh, is this shouting or finding fault? In fact, this is no different from European and American countries calling for China to take sides during the Russia-Ukraine conflict. With this set of old tunes, it is no wonder that some people say that politics is a big drama.
China's response to this has long been clear. ** "It is necessary for all parties to jointly safeguard the safety of shipping lanes in the Red Sea waters in accordance with the law, and at the same time earnestly respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries bordering the Red Sea, including Yemen." To put it simply, don't put the blame on others, and solve the problem fairly and reasonably.
There is a problem with the decision-making of the United States, and it wants China to "pay"! First of all, the United States' own policies have led to a cooling of relations with Iran, and now it wants to pull China as a lobbyist to persuade Iran to back down, which is a fantasy. Second, U.S. support for Israel has made the entire Middle East and Muslims angry, and it would be naïve to ask the Houthis to stop.
Look, the United States is hitting a bottleneck in the direction of the Red Sea, but it does not realize the crux of the problem. Now throwing "indicators" at China, what are you actually trying to do? Do you think China is easy to talk to? In the storms of the Red Sea, the United States must be careful not to be caught off guard by shells.
What led the United States into the Red Sea crisis? Perhaps, the United States should reflect on its foreign policy instead of blaming others. Don't you say?
