China calls for dialogue after Yemen rebel attacks

channelnewsasia.com

China has called for dialogue and de-escalation in the Red Sea after Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed to have attacked a US aircraft carrier group. The Houthis stated they launched missiles and a drone at the USS Harry Truman. The attacks were described as retaliation for US strikes. Washington has pledged to continue military action against the Houthis until they cease attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Beijing emphasized the need for diplomatic solutions to the complex issues in Yemen. Last year, China urged an end to harassment of civilian ships in the region, vital for its trade with the EU.
