Recent reports indicate a covert collaboration between China and Yemen's Houthi movement, revealing a network supplying advanced weaponry that poses a threat to stability in the Red Sea. According to U.S. intelligence sources, the Houthis are utilizing Chinese-made arms in their operations, which include attacks on international shipping.
