Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mao Ning presided over a regular press conference on July 29. A Reuters reporter asked a question. Some sources said that the Chinese side has asked the Houthis to directly guarantee that Chinese oil tankers can safely pass through the southern Red Sea. Allegedly, Chinese officials have listed Chinese ships for the Houthis. The two sides also notified Iran of the relevant actions. Can the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirm this? Mao Ning said that China is closely following the development of the Red Sea situation and believes that the sovereignty and security of all countries in the region should be respected, and that the safety and smooth flow of international waterways should be protected together. China calls on all parties concerned to continue to properly resolve conflicts and differences through dialogue and consultation, and to cool down the situation in the Red Sea.
