As early as July 15, the UN Security Council passed a resolution related to the Red Sea on the 15th. China's permanent representative to the United Nations emphasized that the Security Council resolution should not be distorted or abused, and the sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity of Yemen should be respected. According to media reports, on July 15, the Security Council passed Resolution 2787 with 12 votes in favor, 0 against, and 3 abstentions. The resolution requires monthly reporting to the Security Council on the attacks by the Houthi rebels in Yemen on merchant ships in the Red Sea, with information continuing until January 15, 2026. Algeria, China, and Russia cast abstentions. China's position is clear: the US and UK, as well as the West, will only escalate the situation. Although China does not approve of the Houthi rebels' unrestricted ship attacks, all the causes are because the US, Israel, and the West have been waging wars recklessly in the Middle East, including a full-scale war on Yemen. It is evident that the Houthi rebels in Yemen were thoroughly angered by the UN Security Council's resolution on the Red Sea, and China, along with Algeria and Russia, has cast the key abstention vote. China has realized that the war will expand, so it has already issued a warning to the Security Council. The Houthi rebels in Yemen are also aware that the only ones supporting them at the UN Security Council are China and Russia. Although the Houthi rebels will expand the scope of their attacks on ships, Chinese-flagged vessels flying the Five-Star Red Flag can still safely navigate through the Red Sea. So far, after sinking two large cargo ships, the Houthi rebels have not made much movement. After all, sinking large cargo ships requires a considerable amount of anti-ship missiles, suicide drones, mines, and unmanned explosive boats. The Houthi rebels' statement seems more like saying: "The Red Sea street" will now be under my control. Currently, among the entire Arab region, only the Houthi rebels in Yemen have real vision, perspective, goals, beliefs, and practical actions.
