The Houthi attacks on all types of ships are not stopping.

They attacked one more ship that was bound for Singapore.

I don't know what these idiots are trying to achieve but if they target the ships of every country, they will end up bringing navies of a dozen countries on Yemen and Iran's doorsteps.

No doubt these attacks are backed by the Chinese.

They are attacking random ships. Vessels of Singapore, Malta, Panama, and Mongolia flags and registration in unrelated countries are attacked. There is no way for Houthis to identify which ships are bound for China except Chinese-flagged ones. These may be bound for Australia, New Zealand, China, South Africa or anywhere.

The Houthis don't have the kind of identification system required to segregate to that level of granularity. Inexplicably they might end up attacking a China-bound ship. Remember, the bulk of export cargo ships going through there have either source or destination to China from all other parts of the world.

True. China has land route selling stuffs to Europe by rail. The attacks on ships benefit China.
