"China's Efforts to Ease Red Sea Tensions and Impact on Global Trade"

China expresses deep concern over the escalating tensions in the Red Sea caused by Houthi rebel attacks, calling for de-escalation and urging all parties to ensure the safety of the trade route. The attacks have disrupted global trade, leading to ships rerouting around Africa and increased shipping costs. China, as the world's largest exporter, is working to cool down the situation and maintain security and stability in the region, while maintaining close ties with Iran and refraining from taking sides in the conflict.
