These two cargo ships were constructed in China, which is responsible for building more than 50% of the world's merchant vessels. They were operated by a Greek company, flying the Liberian flag.

CCP supply the weapons to bomb their own merchant ships

Impossible. Arab missiles can sniff China ships like they do Chinese women.

These Chinese builders must have used a Radar Identification Friend or Foe (RIF or IFF) system. It typically involves a transponder that sends a coded signal, indicating whether the vessel is friendly or foe. But then the captain of the vessel knows the present of these RIF system and will definitely turns them off and again the Chinese still have anti-counter measure when these RIFs are turned off to correctly locate it present and location.

what’s the point when prc-flagged ships are struck and sunk? all these ccp countermeasures don’t prevent prc ships from being sunk by own weapons. it’s a world crass joke.

All Chinese or Russian owners of these vessels with their RIF system turned ON, displaying their respective country's flag, can navigate through the Red Sea without any issues. However, those who pretend to be from these countries will face difficulties.
Houthis gives warning to ALL vessels passing through the Rea Sea must flag their own country and dont pretend to be from the Chinese, turned on their public addressing and RIF system. Houthis wish to check on every real owner of the vessel and report to them else ....

So that they can sell them another one.

Excellent plan.

AI Overview

While China hasn't directly supplied weapons to the Houthis, there's evidence that Chinese companies have provided dual-use components, like missile guidance systems and drone parts, that bolster Houthi capabilities. These components are often used in the production and operation of weapons systems, allowing the Houthis to expand their attacks on Red Sea shipping.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

• Dual-use components:
  Several Chinese companies, including Shenzhen Boyu Imports and Exports and Shenzhen Rion Technology Co., have been sanctioned for supplying components that can be used in both civilian and military applications.
  
  
• Examples of supplied items:
  These include components for missile guidance systems, drone manufacturing, and other military-grade equipment.
  
  
• Houthi procurement networks:
  The Houthis have established networks to smuggle these components into Yemen, often using Iranian support and cooperation.
  
  
• Impact on Red Sea attacks:
  The supplied components have significantly increased the Houthis' ability to launch attacks on ships in the Red Sea, impacting international trade and maritime security.
  
  
• Chinese denial:
  The Chinese government has denied any direct involvement in supplying weapons to the Houthis according to i24NEWS.

China Arming Houthi Rebels in Yemen in Exchange For Unimpeded Red Sea Passage

Latest Developments​

• U.S. Intelligence Reveals China-Houthi Network: American intelligence sources reportedly revealed that the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen are using Chinese-made weapons for their assaults on shipping in the Red Sea in exchange for refraining from attacks upon Chinese vessels. After Houthi leaders visited China in 2023 and 2024 to establish a supply chain, the group was able to obtain “advanced components and guidance equipment” for their missiles, according to Israel’s i24 News. The report claimed that the Houthis plan to utilize the Chinese weapons components to produce hundreds of cruise missiles capable of striking Persian Gulf states.
• China-Linked Vessels Continue to Navigate Red Sea: Maritime data confirms that “China-associated” ships are continuing to navigate Red Sea shipping lanes without being targeted, though a Houthi targeting error reportedly led to an attack on a China-linked oil tanker in March 2024. The Houthis have previously said they would avoid targeting ships linked to China, which purchases 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, helping counter sanctions imposed on the country’s energy sector.
• U.S. Previously Sanctioned China-based Companies for Aiding Houthis: On October 2, 2024, the United States sanctioned two China-based companies for providing “dual use components” to the Houthis that would advance their “domestic missile and UAV production efforts.” Shenzhen Rion Technology Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Jinghon Electronics Limitedwere designated for having materially supported the Houthis, including shipping “hundreds” of advanced missile-guidance system components.

FDD Expert Response​

“We now have credible reports that China’s communist rulers are supplying arms to the Houthi Islamists in Yemen supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran. By now it should be apparent that the West is literally under fire from an Axis of Aggressors: Beijing, Moscow, Tehran and its proxies, and Pyongyang. They are determined to establish a new international order based on their power and their rules. The United States and its European allies have not responded effectively to this reality. Perhaps the incoming administration will do a better job.” — Clifford D. May, Founder & President

“As international scrutiny intensifies on the Houthis due to more than a year of attacks on Israel and commercial shipping, the group is likely seeking to diversify its supply chain to sustain its expanding missile capabilities. Additionally, the Houthis have learned crucial lessons from more than a decade of valuable battlefield experience. They have learned that exerting pressure on key states in the region, especially the affluent Persian Gulf states with their vast oil and gas reserves, may create significant global economic instability.” — Joe Truzman, Senior Research Analyst and Editor at FDD’s Long War Journal

“China’s assistance to the Houthis is yet another signal that Beijing is actively contributing to global chaos and instability. From Chinese firms allegedly providing drones to Russia for its war in Ukraine to now providing support to a proxy group conducting strikes against Israel and the United States, China is cementing its status as an arsenal for autocracies.” — Jack Burnham, Research Analyst
