US official: China rejects US calls for cooperation in confronting Houthi attacks on international shipping
Political| 4 October, 2024 - 8:25 AM
China has rejected U.S. calls for joint international action against Houthi attacks on international shipping, encouraging the rebel group to attack other countries' ships rather than its own, a senior U.S. diplomat said.
US Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said Beijing's response - which has a naval base in Djibouti, across the Bab al-Mandab Strait from Yemen - was "completely unhelpful" and raised questions about its commitment to global cooperation.
When Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen began missile attacks on Western shipping late last year, it caused a crisis in international shipping, affecting China as well as many other trading countries.
