The Americans are really interesting, they let the Palestinian-Israeli conflict spill over, and now they suddenly find that the situation is not good, and they think of China at this time?
Let me talk to you about what's going on: Recently, isn't the United States trying to create some kind of multinational joint force to escort ships in the Red Sea? In fact, it is to fight the Houthis, but even the allies of the United States have to think about first, what benefits they can get, and second, if they offend the Houthis, will their future merchant ships be attacked when they pass through here.
Obviously, Australia, as an ally of the United States, has taken these into account, so it has rejected the "invitation" of the United States.
Therefore, it is normal for the Australian side to be instigated, but the face of the Americans is indeed a little "unbearable", and so many countries have been invited, and there are far fewer people who can come, dare to come, and dare to openly support the United States. And America's allies, and a significant part of them, refuse to make the situation in the Middle East more tense.
At this time, the Americans are very embarrassed, they originally wanted to do something in the Red Sea and help Israel share some of the pressure, but no one bought it, but they have already boasted about the sea, and now they are in a dilemma.
Sure enough, at this time, the Americans thought of China. The US side shamelessly pinned the "hat" of safeguarding the security of shipping in the Red Sea on China's head. In my opinion, there is actually a big trap in the rhetoric of the US side, that is, if China does not agree, it will slander China and cannot bear the responsibility of a major country, so as to suppress China's image in the international community.
But didn't the Americans always talk about the importance of freedom of navigation before, and the escort is also for freedom of navigation, the Houthis, the reason why they attacked merchant ships to Israel in the Red Sea was not because the Americans supported Israel?
This kind of artificially created dispute wants to drag China into the water and consume national strength, why should we agree?
China has also responded in a timely manner, and the general content is that maintaining the security of the Red Sea waters is an obligation for everyone, but influential powers should play an important role.
What role do the Americans play? Clashing with the Houthis over there is to maintain peace and freedom of navigation? What kind of flight are the Americans protecting with $2,000 for a missile and a $2,000 drone?
Isn't this just relying on their own national strength to bully the Houthis? But from another point of view, the cost of the Americans is also very large, but China is a big country in drones, and it is among the best in the world in terms of quantity, quality, and cost of use, and the Americans obviously cannot afford to spend it, and they want to use China's hand to break the siege.
Why should we help? The Americans have not even agreed to support the ceasefire in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and they still want to obstruct it at every level. Moreover, not only in the Middle East, but even in the South China Sea, during the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the Americans did not restrain at all, instigated the Philippines, Japan, and other countries to make trouble, and even personally sent littoral combat ships to the vicinity of China's Ren'ai Jiao to show off their military might.
Besides, freedom of navigation is not used like this, to go to someone else's doorstep, talk about self-defense, talk about freedom of navigation, isn't it a bandit?
The current Americans have finally kicked the "iron plate", and the Houthis who dare to speak and dare to fight, the Americans cannot afford to provoke them, and they do not dare to provoke them, as the so-called "barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes." If the conflict in the Red Sea continues to worsen, the Americans may have to come out in a very embarrassing posture.
