Xi Leveraging Tehran-Beijing Ties? Chinese Automakers Still Take Red Sea Despite Houthi Menace | 4K

Chinese automakers are shipping cars to Europe through the Red Sea, despite Houthi attacks in the critical Middle East transit route, the NYT reported. While China gets a more direct route to Europe, other automakers are still shipping cars from Asia by way of a much longer, and expensive, trip around Africa. In July 2025, at least 14 car-carrier ships traveled from Chinese ports to Europe through the Red Sea, the NYT reported citing analysis by Lloyd’s List Intelligence.The trips have continued even after the Houthis used drones, grenades and gunfire to sink two other cargo ships early last month. The Iran-backed militia group said the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians living through Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. The Houthis announced on July 28 that they would continue their campaign of attacks on ships that they believe are linked to Israel or Israeli ports. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION1:44 HAS CHINA REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING WITH HOUTHIS?4:52 CHINESE FOREIGN MINISTRY REACTS
