America claims that China provided satellite intelligence to Houthi forces attacking aircraft carriers, and China responds by dismissing these claims as baseless. Multiple media outlets including Global Times report that America's aircraft carriers are having a tough time in the Middle East. The "Harry Truman" and "Carl Vinson" have been targeted by Houthi missiles, drones, and other weapons. Despite prolonged U.S. efforts against the Houthis, their effectiveness has been minimal. Even with B-2 bombers and bunker-buster bombs, the situation remains challenging for American carriers in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea.
Recently, America has begun amplifying the "China threat," claiming that Houthi attacks on U.S. aircraft carriers were enabled by Chinese satellite-provided intelligence. Chang Guang Satellite immediately refuted these claims, stating they have no ties or connections with the Houthis. America's accusations merely serve to showcase its incompetence on a global scale.
Although the Houthis lack significant global capabilities and their weapons are unremarkable, they continue to effectively strike at powerful U.S. naval forces in the Red Sea, causing considerable trouble for America. Trump even declared that targeting the Houthis is a long-term mission, indicating potential future protracted conflict in the Red Sea against this group.
The Houthis, with their ballistic missiles, drones, and other armaments, have launched various attacks against U.S. aircraft carriers, causing chaos and even incidents of friendly fire. This demonstrates that in the Red Sea region, only the Houthis dare challenge U.S. carriers. America currently lacks effective countermeasures against Houthi missile and firepower guerrilla tactics, which has led them to falsely accuse China's civilian satellite companies of providing satellite images to the Houthis, enabling them to target carriers.
In reality, America's claim is highly uninformed. If merely satellite images could locate and accurately hit aircraft carriers, no one would believe it. A continuous precise guidance process is required, not just a single image. Thus, America's accusation reveals its unease and embarrassment when confronting the Houthis, making it difficult to justify globally.
Despite being a powerful nation and once a dominant maritime force during the Cold War, America struggles in near-sea operations against the Houthis. The Houthis' striking power and results have drawn significant attention worldwide. Therefore, America's current complaints reflect its frustration, using the "China threat" narrative to hide its own inadequacies and shortcomings.
In fact, if China truly provided intelligence about U.S. aircraft carriers to the Houthis or other groups, the outcome would be far worse. This demonstrates that China adheres to its defensive principles globally, with clear boundaries in its actions. Unlike America, which operates without limits or principles, pursuing "America First" through aggressive actions worldwide. America's recent complaints highlight its perception of China as a formidable entity.
