China helping Houthis obtain weapons for unmolested Red Sea passage
US intelligence services have identified a complex supply chain set up by the Houthis in China since the beginning of the attacks in the Red Sea – i24NEWS has the scoop
US intelligence services have identified a complex supply chain set up by the Houthis in China since the beginning of the attacks in the Red Sea. This network allows them to acquire advanced components and guidance equipment for their ballistic and cruise missiles.ute
Even more worrying, Houthi leaders are reportedly planning to manufacture hundreds of cruise missiles capable of striking Persian Gulf states, using these same Chinese components. Washington has repeatedly passed on this information to Beijing since September, including detailed lists of Chinese companies involved in this arms mechanism.
"Houthi officials have visited China several times last summer and fall, probably for meetings with high-ranking officials of the regime," says a diplomatic source. In the face of Beijing's inaction, the United States now threatens to act jointly with Israel to cut off these Chinese trade networks from the global financial system.
This revelation comes as the Houthis seek to establish lasting control over one of the world's most crucial maritime routes, directly threatening international trade and regional stability.
