Wenbing has stressed that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the countries along the Red Sea, including Yemen, must be properly respected. This position of China is important because immediately after the adoption of the recent resolution of the United Nations Security Council on Yemen, the United States and the United Kingdom launched attacks against that country, while the resolution did not authorize any form of use of force. military action against Yemen. Therefore, from China's point of view, the United States and the United Kingdom are using the opportunity for their own benefit and are attacking Yemen against international law; and that action must be stopped. In relation to this issue, an expert in international affairs and a lecturer at the Australian National University, Wen Ti Song, says: "The United States has always used the UN Security Council and its resolutions as a tool. The US is using what it claims are Security Council resolutions to justify its attacks. The truth is, Washington has given a false and misleading interpretation of the recent resolution of the United Nations Security Council on Yemen". The truth is that the United States, Britain and other protocols have attacked Yemen several times under the pretext of protecting the safety of ships. in the Red Sea, and at the same time they are making contradictory statements to direct all kinds of accusations against the Ansarullah movement in Yemen, while what the Yemeni resistance movement is doing is to insulate the people of Gaza and the Palestinian resistance against the attacks of the administration of Zionist, it is to attack only Zionist ships or those heading to the ports of occupied Palestine on the lands embedded with the false name of Israel. The United States, not only prevents the ceasefire in Gaza, but also seeks an opportunity to monopolize the wider area of ​​the Red Sea through its action of sending its submarines to the area. Due to the discovery of the real truth about the reason for the US military presence in the region, which is to protect the life of the false Zionist regime and control the Red Sea, a move that is a great threat to the freedom of sea travel, the crimes committed by the United States and Britain in Yemen have been criticized and internationally condemned. In this regard, Alfred Wu, Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew Faculty of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, says: "The United States itself is a threat to world security. Wherever the American troops have been deployed, they have disturbed the peace and security of the world. that place; and we can point to the US military presence in Iraq and Syria and right now in the Red Sea, where the most important goal of Washington's presence there is to control the Strait of Bab al-Mandab to protect the life of Israel". Alaa kulli haal, China's position, that no one gave the United States permission to use force against Yemen, is important for giving them awareness and understanding of the world's thinking. However, the expectations of the international community for China, as it is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, are greater than just showing diplomatic opposition. China, which imports most of its energy needs from the Middle East and is transported through the Red Sea, is no doubt aware of the security implications of a US military presence in that important maritime region, and as an important and permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations, has a great responsibility and responsibility to stop the American crimes in Yemen. In this regard, Beijing has the ability to use international institutions, including the Security Council, to stop the crimes of Washington and its allies.
