A quite believable tale: Yemen Rules!

In terms of Chinese and North Koreans being in the back and in planning and operating rooms in Russia to take part in the SMO (in a training capacity if you like), I have no qualms to accept. But, they are not fighting in the front ranks.

In terms of Yemen, we have hints but nothing concrete. These hints are clearly not made up out of whole cloth, and within the 4 or 5 Yemen sources that we have, they take the form of speculation. People are talking, sometimes gossiping.

In search of the Chinese trace.

A Chinese company is supplying the Houthis with satellite imagery to target US Navy ships and civilian vessels in the Red Sea, according to US officials cited by the Financial Times.

The Trump administration has repeatedly warned Beijing that PLA-linked Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co Ltd is providing intelligence to the Houthis .

“The United States has repeatedly and privately raised concerns with the Chinese government about Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co Ltd’s role in supporting the Houthis in an effort to pressure Beijing to take action,” a senior State Department official said. He added that China had ignored these concerns.

This work—and I have no doubt that there is reality to it, as there is just too much in the discussion field of netizens—may be in the form of technical support, perhaps in a building human capacity wrapper or supporting human technology training agreements, not specifically war support.

The US seems to have no problem with its military support for Ukraine. China has a vested interest as they want to use the waterways as well. Whatever it is, whatever form it takes, Go China and Yemen!

To all of you who say .. Amarynth, you’re dreaming …

Yemen and China Sign Two Agreements of Understanding to Strengthen Development and Security Cooperation – 12 February 2025

Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:

Yemen and China signed two agreements of understanding on Monday in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, aimed at strengthening development and security cooperation between the two countries. Under one of the agreements, Yemen joins the Global Development Initiative launched by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The first agreement, signed by the Yemeni Minister of Planning and International Cooperation, Waed Badhib, and the Chargé d’Affaires of the Chinese Embassy to Yemen, Shao Zheng, includes a comprehensive framework for development cooperation, focusing on poverty reduction, promoting food security, developing the public health sector, supporting industrial transformation, as well as addressing the challenges of climate change and green development, and building human capacity in the digital age.

Under the agreement, China will provide development support to Yemen that includes grants and interest-free loans, in addition to providing funding from the Global Development Fund, and establishing a joint dialogue mechanism to hold periodic meetings aimed at coordinating policies and exchanging experiences, according to the official Yemeni news agency.

The second agreement relates to equipment and supplies for the Yemeni police, where China will provide a grant that includes a batch of police equipment to support the Yemeni Ministry of Interior, with its transfer to the port of Mukalla as part of the free aid provided to Yemen.

These agreements reflect the continued Chinese support for Yemen in the areas of development and security, in light of the Yemeni government’s efforts to strengthen international partnerships and achieve economic stability.
