Zionists’ anger over the establishment of a maritime trade line between Yemen and China.
According to reports published in recent days, Yemen has announced that it will establish a maritime trade line with Yemen, and through this, the infrastructure of the port of Hodeidah will be rebuilt, news that has led to shock and anger among the Zionists.
Accordingly, the Sanaa Shipping Bureau announced the opening of a direct shipping line from China to the port of Hodeidah, which is under the control of the Yemeni Ansarullah forces. The new line, operated by the Chinese company ZBM, will connect three major Chinese ports, including Qingdao, directly to Hodeidah.
According to the published report, the line offers regular sea voyages at relatively competitive prices: about $4,300 per 20-foot container and about $5,950 per 40-foot container. In addition to providing shipping services to transport containers from China to the port of Hodeidah in Yemen, the Chinese company ZBM also offers a full package of logistics services.
This service covers all stages of the transportation of goods, from the moment they leave the manufacturing plants in China to their arrival and unloading at the final destination in Yemen. In simple terms, the company manages the entire transportation process, from origin (factory) to destination (Yemen), including coordination, transportation, and delivery for its customers, so that there is no need to use intermediary companies or separate services.
This move is seen as a significant economic move for Yemenis. This provides Yemen with direct access to one of the world’s largest trading powers, reducing its dependence on alternative ports or attempts to circumvent the blockade.
For the Israeli regime, this is a significant and unexpected development. The Israeli regime has attacked the port of Hodeidah several times in recent months, claiming that the port is an important area for the Yemenis to receive advanced weapons.
According to the Zionists, if China starts to open direct trade routes to this port, Israel will find itself facing a reality in which an economic hub on the international stage is actually investing in and equipping the infrastructure of a port that has become a military target for the regime.
In other words, the port of Hodeidah is a military target for Israel, because it claims that the port is used for the delivery and transfer of weapons. Now that China, a global power, is directly cooperating with this port by opening this trade route, it is effectively giving it economic and international legitimacy. This could make Israeli military attacks on this port more complicated politically and diplomatically.
On the other hand, China’s cooperation with the port of Hodeidah puts Israel in indirect confrontation with a major economic and political power (China). This situation could affect Israel’s diplomatic or economic relations with China, as the Zionists do not want to get into conflict with a key country in the world system.
Finally, as mentioned, this shipping line provides direct access for the Yemenis to China, one of the world’s largest trading powers. This increases the income and economic power of the Yemenis. The Zionist regime, which considers the Yemenis a class-one enemy that acts against its interests wherever possible, considers their economic strengthening to be a serious threat to itself.
According to analysts, there are many reasons for this decision by China, but one of the main reasons for this decision by Beijing, although Chinese leaders are aware of the current tension and conflict between Yemen and the Zionist regime, is the issue of Taiwan and the close relationship between the Zionist regime and it.
Despite the unprecedented hatred of the Zionist regime in the world, as well as the diplomatic pressure from Western and Eastern countries on this regime due to its bloody crimes in Gaza, there were regimes in the world whose Gaza war increased the level and extent of their relations with Tel Aviv even more than before, including Taiwan.
