China has reaffirmed its strong opposition to acts of piracy carried out by the Houthi militia in the Red Sea, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding international maritime security. 

The Houthi attacks, which have targeted commercial vessels and disrupted global trade routes, have drawn widespread condemnation from the international community, including Beijing.

As a major global trading nation, China relies heavily on the Red Sea as a critical maritime corridor for its economic activities. 

The region's strategic significance, linking Asia, Africa, and Europe, underscores China's vested interest in ensuring the smooth flow of goods and energy supplies. 

Beijing has called for collective international efforts to address the security challenges posed by Houthi piracy and to protect the stability of this vital waterway.

China's stance reflects its broader commitment to promoting peace and stability in the Middle East, as well as its role as a key player in global trade and diplomacy. 

The situation remains dynamic, with ongoing discussions and measures aimed at countering the threat of piracy and ensuring the safety of maritime operations in the Red Sea.
