Financial Times of the UK reported today: "Some ships in the Gulf region are changing their transponder information to claim they are Chinese in order to avoid being attacked by Iran. Vessels tamper with their transponder information, adding tags such as 'Chinese shipowner', 'All Chinese crew', or 'There are Chinese crew on board'."

Comments: Many Gulf vessels are disguising themselves as Chinese ships for safety, a scene full of realistic significance: the Chinese identity has become a safe pass in the war zone. Iran has actively promised to ensure the safety of Chinese ships, and other countries' merchant ships are rushing to impersonate Chinese ships for protection, which precisely indicates that in the Strait of Hormuz, where major power confrontation and tense situations exist, only China, which always upholds the diplomatic principles of fairness and justice, has become a safe harbor recognized and respected by all parties.
