On January 6th, The National Interest<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

Amid Iranian defeats across the Middle East, the Houthi rebels in Yemen are increasingly turning to China for missile components to use against the West.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Yemen-based Houthi rebels have found a new backer:\u00a0the People\u2019s Republic of China. In a recent report published by i24 News, U.S. intelligence sources detail the undercover collaboration between Beijing and the Iranian-backed terror group which has perpetuated the ongoing instability in the Red Sea. While the Houthis have\u00a0indiscriminately<\/a>\u00a0carried out attacks targeting warships and shipping vessels alike in these waters for years, the rebel group’s maritime strikes have escalated following the October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel. According to the Israel-based news outlet, the Houthis are now using Chinese-designed weapons in their attacks. In exchange, the terror group will cease attacks on ships flying the Chinese flag. With a shared mutual contempt for the West, Beijing and Tehran\u2019s\u00a0collaboration<\/a>\u00a0in the region makes sense.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Iran has suffered significant blows over the last year. From the decimation of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah\u2019s leadership in Lebanon to the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, Tehran\u2019s clout in the Middle East is rapidly deteriorating. Lacking the resources and weapons needed to continue its asymmetric objectives in the region, the regime has relied on China and Russia for support. The rogue allies are largely isolated from the international community and therefore lean on each other for arms, funds and even training\u00a0at times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

The Chinese-Iranian collaboration on this front\u00a0coincides<\/a>\u00a0with the allies\u2019 determination to establish a new international order based on their own rules. Beijing, Tehran, Moscow and even Pyongyang are increasingly working together to undermine the U.S. and Western power. The People\u2019s Republic of China has also allegedly interfered in the ongoing\u00a0Russian invasion<\/a>\u00a0of Ukraine by providing drones to Moscow. Now that U.S. intelligence services have uncovered China\u2019s material support for a group perpetuating attacks against Israel, the U.S. and other Western nations, the depth of this collaboration is even more alarming.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diplomacy in the Middle East is going to be very complicated in the coming years. China is not fighting the west directly–it is just supplying weapons to countries that will not be able to stop its rise to world domination in the future. The idea is that these countries will use the weapons against countries that might actually be able to compete with China. If China can significantly weaken the major western countries without being directly involved, there will be no barriers to China become the sole superpower of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
